Content Standards

Editorial Framework

Sources

All health content is derived exclusively from peer-reviewed journals, national clinical guidelines (ICMR, FOGSI, IAP), and WHO recommendations. No content is sourced from unverified blogs or commercial publications.

Accuracy

Every published article undergoes annual content audits against the latest clinical evidence. User-reported inaccuracies trigger expedited review within 72 hours. Version history is maintained for full traceability.

Transparency

All advisory board members submit conflict of interest disclosures annually. Editorial decisions are independent of commercial partnerships. Sponsorship, where present, is clearly labelled and never influences clinical guidance.
