WHAT’S NEW
All of us are consumers. We acquire health information, purchase
health products, and avail of health services to appraise, improve, and
maintain our health.
Health information is an idea that we hear from people around us,
read from books and other printed materials, or from the media that influence
our health.
Health products are items that we consume to improve our wellbeing
such as medicine, food, clothes, furniture, electronics, etc. To ensure
consumer health, criteria and guidelines in selecting health products/
services must be considered. Various forms of providers and plans must also
be known to a consumer.
Health services are programs we avail from various providers such as
physicians, nurses, therapists, health workers, hospitals, clinics, and the
government. Some examples of these health services are insurance, treatment
and cure, and complementary and alternative medicine. In this light, we must
all be educated consumers.

things will make you more confident as a consumer. You can also
