Amidst a global pandemic, WHO has declared that this year's focus for World Health Day is on keeping humans and the planet healthy, as well as fostering movements to create societies that emphasize wellbeing. We mark this by looking into our nation's healthcare systems, how it's changed and how it can be improved. Then, we dive into the topic of health literacy and how it contributes to our understanding of healthcare.
