We know that you have come to this website and read health information with great trust in us. Also, it is our biggest responsibility to provide you with accurate, doctor-verified information. So today we are going to talk about a question that many people have in mind. That is, "How can you give us such valuable health information for free?" In this, we are ready to talk to you completely openly and honestly.
How do we keep our service free?
As you can see, there is a cost involved in writing each article that appears on our website, having the information repeatedly checked by doctors, and maintaining the website. But we will never charge you for this information. Because our goal is to create an easily accessible, reliable source of health information for everyone in Sri Lanka.
So to cover these costs, we get sponsorships and advertisements from certain commercial entities, manufacturers, and other healthcare providers. Simply put, it's like the ads that appear in between your favorite TV shows. These sponsorships are what allow us to provide this service to you for free.
But the most important thing here is to maintain a clear distinction between the independent articles written by our doctors and the advertisements provided by sponsors. Your trust is more valuable to us than anything else.
How do you tell the difference between sponsored content and our articles?
We follow a special system to clearly distinguish between the two, so that you don't get confused. If an article, image, or video comes from a sponsor, we label it very clearly.
Before you make a decision about something, you have the right to know whether it is our own content or a sponsored ad. Let's explain this further in the table below.
| The label you see | Its simple meaning |
|---|---|
| "Sponsored by", "From Our Sponsor", "Promoted by" | This is an advertisement . The content here has been created by the respective sponsoring company. Our medical team is not responsible for the accuracy of the information contained therein. It is entirely the sponsor's message. |
| "Supported by", "Funded by" | What happens here is that a certain organization funds us to create articles under a common topic. However, the article is written and its medical facts are verified entirely by our independent medical team. The funding organization has no influence on the content of the article. |
| "Educational Collaboration" | Sometimes we partner with government health agencies or non-profit organizations to conduct health education programs. In these cases, the content is created in collaboration with both parties. But ultimately, the articles are published subject to approval by our medical team. |
| If there is no label | This means that the article is 100% written independently by our medical team, free from any outside influence . The majority of articles on our website fall into this category. |
Let's find out a little more details.
Sponsored content may contain a link to the sponsor's website. If you click on that link, we will inform you that you will be taken to another website.
Most importantly, we do not endorse any specific product, service, or treatment. Even if a product is mentioned in a sponsored ad, it is wise to talk to your doctor before deciding whether to use it.
Our goal is to provide you with knowledge, not to sell you a product. We fulfill that responsibility perfectly.
