health care advocacy

Health care advocacy involves supporting and speaking up for individuals to ensure they receive appropriate medical care and respect. Advocates help navigate complex healthcare systems, understand treatment options, and communicate with providers. They work to protect patients' rights, address concerns, and promote fair, accessible, and quality health services. This support can be provided by professionals, family members, or the patients themselves, aiming to empower individuals to make informed decisions and achieve the best possible health outcomes.
