An individual’s ability to perform self-care is often limited by their circumstances, health literacy and access to professional advice. As the most accessible member of the healthcare team, pharmacists play an important role in advocating for and assisting individuals and families with self-care. This empowers individuals to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and to cope with illness and disability. Self-care has the potential to improve the efficiency of health systems and to contribute towards health equity and universal health coverage.
