AHLA is an independent multinational non-governmental organization established to pursue and promote best practices and research in health literacy in Asia. In AHLA, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers work together to develop numerous Strategies to promote health literacy, with the ultimate goal of reducing health disparities and enhancing healthcare quality. Through public education and research, we jointly develop good practices in health literacy and support relevant policy development.

AHLA supports dialogue at all levels in the communities, groups, and nations, encouraging patients, clinicians, health administrators, health service providers, and policy makers to discuss the importance of health literacy in health care systems and work together to resolve problems and handle challenges in health care practices. AHLA also supports multi-national research and national-specific investigations. Sharing our experiences and research findings in health literacy is the key. AHLA advocates for collaborations for health literacy among all stakeholders in Asian countries.
