Being healthy is everyone's fundamental right. For this purpose, states, institutions providing health services and individuals have very important duties. Health literacy is defined as the ability of an individualistic to understand and interpret this information and act accordingly when an individualistic is asked to provide medical information. This study was conducted in a descriptive manner to examine the health literacy grade of individuals applying to a university hospital.
