When you search for a disease on the Internet, have you ever felt scared or suspicious after seeing the information on each website? It is normal for questions like "Is this true?", "Is it okay to take this medicine?" to come to your mind. So, in a situation like this, our biggest goal is to provide you with the most accurate and medically verified information in Sinhala, in a simple way, that you can completely trust.
Most importantly, nothing we publish on this website is a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have any questions about a medical condition, always consult your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional. Never delay or disregard medical advice because of something you have read on this website.
How do we choose the articles we bring you?
We don't just write about whatever comes to mind. We have a few criteria we use to select the most important and relevant things for you.
- Relevance: We focus on everything that affects your health and that of your family. This includes the latest health news, new drugs, product recalls, health alerts , and expert advice on how to manage your health and stay healthy.
- Clinical Significance: We simply bring you the latest research information published in the world's most recognized medical journals (Peer-reviewed medical journals). These are articles written by one doctor and then published after being reviewed and verified by a group of other expert doctors. So the reliability of that information is very high.
- Timely and Popular Topics (Trends): We also talk about things that are relevant to the time. For example, topics like " Food Safety " during the New Year, "Sweets and Health" during the Sinhala New Year, "How to Avoid Dengue?" during the dengue epidemic. We also inform you about special occasions like " Breast Cancer Awareness Month".
Our Content Process
There is a great process behind every article published on our website. This is what ensures the accuracy and reliability of our information. 1.
Idea and Research:Our team of doctors and medical writers select a topic that you think is important. Then, they gather information from the latest and most reliable sources (recognized medical journals, Ministry of Health announcements) on the topic. 2.
Writing the article: The information gathered is written in a very simple, everyday language that you can understand. Here, we try to explain how it applies to your life rather than just giving you some information. 3.
Medical Review: The written article is handed over to a qualified, experienced doctor from our team. He or she
checks whether every medical fact in the article is accurate, the language is appropriate, and the information is presented in a balanced manner. If there is any mistake or omission, they are corrected immediately. 4.
Editing: After the doctor approves, one of our editors will double-check the article for language, spelling, punctuation, and readability. 5.
Publishing: After all these steps are completed, the article is published on the website for you to read.
Do we use AI technology?
This is a problem that many people have now. Yes, we sometimes use artificial intelligence, that is, `(AI - Artificial Intelligence)` technology, to help us prepare articles. But here's the thing. AI is just one tool we have.
Even if something is created with AI, every word, every sentence is read over and over again by our doctors and editors and its accuracy is confirmed 100% before it is delivered to you. We never publish anything that has not been checked without human intervention. You can have complete confidence in that.
The difference between advertisements and our articles
We need some revenue to run our website. That is why we publish advertisements. But here we follow a very important policy. That is
Editorial Independence. Simply put, our Editorial Staff and Advertising Staff have no connection. We do not allow any advertising agency to influence the content of our articles. That is our strict policy. We use clear labels to help you easily distinguish between the two.
| Content type | What does that mean? |
|---|
| Our Health Articles (Editorial Content) | These are articles written independently by our doctors and writers, without any outside influence, and checked for accuracy by doctors before being published. |
| Advertisements / Sponsored Content | These are paid posts by an organization to promote their product or service. They are clearly labeled as "Sponsored Content", "From Our Sponsor", or "Advertisement". This content is not reviewed by our medical team. |
Conflict of Interest
Any writer, editor, or physician on our team must fully disclose to us any personal relationship (e.g., stock ownership, advisory position) they have with a commercial company or sponsor. In such cases, we will prevent them from writing or editing articles on the subject. This helps to protect the impartiality of our information.
