Abstract: Health literacy can be defined as the way people understand information about health and health care and how they apply this information to their lives, how they use it to make decisions and how they act based on this understanding. This concept becomes more relevant when we refer to vulnerable groups of the population, as is the case of the chronically ill, within this population were considered people with breast cancer. In Portugal, breast cancer is the most common tumor in women and, globally, is responsible for the greatest loss of healthy life expectancy compared to other types of cancer. Regarding the levels of health literacy in this population, it is thought that these are below sufficient. To respond to this reality, and from the reflection elaborated, it was built a plan to promote health literacy was developed, where measures and actions in the specific area of breast cancer rehabilitation are mentioned. The aim is to disseminate a proposed action plan and from it generate good health practices and a structured and planned care.
