Self-care is an important part of living a healthy and happy lifestyle. Looking after yourself both mentally and physically is crucial for taking control of your health. It is important to emphasize on respecting and empowering the patient and improving their health literacy. For selfcare to succeed, there must be space to interact effectively with healthcare providers to ensure that patients' needs are expressed and addressed, as well as the availability of social support networks and patient groups. Self-care needs to be integrated into the entire healthcare system.
