WHO

Is Health care “patient centric?”
• Doctors adopt highly paternalistic attitude, see informed consent as waste of valuable and scarce time. (Sanwal etal J R Soc Med 1996,89 196-98)
• 40% patients could not understand basic instructions such as take tablet on empty stomach, 60% could not understand standards consent document.(Williams etal JAMA. 1995;274:1677-1682)

Those with limited health literacy are more likely to:
• Skip preventive measures• Require hospital admissions• Use services designed to treat complications
than services used to prevent complications• Feel shameful & vulnerable• Spend more money• Feel unsatisfied (http://www.health.gov/communication/literacy/quickguide/
