CONSUMER HEALTH – refers to the decisions you
make about the purchase of product and use of health
information and services that will have direct effect on
your health. This is also about developing person’s ability
to evaluate health information, products and services
wisely and effectively.
We are all consumers. In order for us to improve and
maintain our health we acquire health information,
purchase health products and avail health services.
