Editorial Policy

Health information has to be clear, careful and honest about its limits. This policy explains how Doctors24 chooses topics, researches, writes and corrects its articles.

Who writes our articles

Articles are published by the Doctors24 Editorial Team. We are writers and editors, not your treating clinicians, and we do not claim medical credentials we do not hold. Our role is to explain what authoritative sources say in plain language.

How we research

  • We rely on primary and authoritative sources such as national and international health agencies, professional medical bodies and peer-reviewed research.
  • We paraphrase sources in our own words and link to them so you can verify claims.
  • We do not invent statistics, quotes, reviews or expert endorsements.

How we write

We aim for plain language, short sentences and defined medical terms. Every article explains when to seek care and suggests practical questions to ask a clinician. We avoid fear-based headlines and miracle-cure claims.

Independence and advertising

Our content is not written to promote any product, brand or treatment. If we ever add sponsored or affiliate content, it will be clearly labelled.

Updates and corrections

We review articles when guidance changes and fix errors as soon as we confirm them. To report a mistake, use our contact form and include the page address and the source you believe is correct.

Medical disclaimer

Our content is educational and not medical advice. Please read the full medical disclaimer.
