It can be defined as a field that focuses on exchanging messages to raise awareness, educate, and encourage the masses to make healthier choices. It encompasses various forms like doctor-patient conversations, public health campaigns, and media messaging, all aimed at improving healthcare knowledge and behavior. Effective health communication plays a crucial role in preventing and managing health issues, especially during public health crises.
