Preventive Health Strategy rightly elevates self-care and consumer empowerment
 

Consumer Healthcare Products (CHP) Australia welcomes the new National Preventive Health Strategy 2021-2030, and commends the Government for elevating the role of self-care and consumer empowerment in the final Strategy.

CHP Australia also fully endorses the development of a national consumer engagement strategy and national health literacy strategy as matters of priority.

Quotes attributed to CHP Australia Chief Executive Officer, Dr Deon Schoombie.

“Engaging, supporting, and empowering Australians in their health management is the cornerstone in effective prevention policy, and greater self-care is the most effective and equitable vehicle to guide, enhance and strengthen preventive health action.

As such, we commend the Morrison Government and Minister Hunt for committing to, and prioritising the development of a national consumer engagement strategy and national health literacy strategy.”
