Health Literacy at the heart and Health Literacy Champions by Kristine Sorensen 10th AHLA Conference 15 May 2024 Ho Chi Minh City This video summarizes the content from Sorensen's lecture on the concept of the Health Literacy Champion, aimed at building sustainable health literacy in an era of increasing complexity and pressure. The material emphasizes driving a global strategy to ensure that everyone can access accurate health information and apply it to genuinely care for themselves. Those who champion this cause are compared to elite athletes — individuals who must possess discipline, perseverance, and a pioneering spirit. Building a network of leaders is considered a critical mechanism for promoting resilient health systems and reducing social inequality. Ultimately, the highest goal is to elevate health literacy to the status of a fundamental human right, in service of the well-being and happiness of all humankind.
