Health literacy is playing a fundamental role in minimizing health disparities among different demographic groups such as elderly adults, racial and ethnic minorities, and low-income individuals. Typically individuals like these deal with the cultural and language barriers that can adversely affect their understanding of health information. By promoting health literacy, we can combat the inequities experienced by these people and consequently, improve the quality of care received.

Health literacy improvement is crucial for promoting patient-centered care. Healthcare providers who can evaluate the literacy levels of their patients can use the appropriateness of the communication strategies resulting in well-understanding the health issues of the patients. This strategy not only helps the patient to get better quickly but also supplements the overall quality of care.

Insufficient health literacy is linked to inferior chronic condition management. Patients with low literacy skills may find it difficult to comply with medical advice, which may result in complications and increased healthcare costs. Health literacy is an important tool to improve the control of chronic diseases and to decrease the pressure on healthcare systems.
In short, health literacy is a vital means of empowering people, reducing health inequalities, improving patient-centered care, supporting public health initiatives, and managing chronic diseases. Investing in health literacy programs will result in a healthier population and a better healthcare system.
