Abstract

The accessibility and efficacy of healthcare services rely on a fundamental element that is often underestimated: the capacity to understand and engage with health information. It's universally acknowledged that access to healthcare is a basic right for all individuals. In the Indian context, a country marked by significant socio-economic disparities and a rich mosaic of cultural and linguistic diversity, the matter of comprehending and effectively utilizing health information has emerged as a pressing and critical concern. This study investigates the paramount importance of health information comprehension in India's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
