When you search for information about a health issue online, you may have noticed that different websites have different information. Some information contradicts each other. Sometimes, even a small mistake can cause a big problem. So, as a website that provides medical information , today we will talk openly about how much we care about the accuracy of the information we publish, and how we correct it if there is any mistake. Because, your trust is the most valuable thing to us.
Why are accuracy and transparency so important?
Imagine you are looking for a medicine for diabetes. A website says the dose is 50mg, but it should actually be 5.0mg. How much harm can a small difference in dosage cause? That is why it is essential that every letter and every number in medical information is 100% accurate .
We run this website with great responsibility as doctors and health professionals. You are reading these articles with great trust in us. It is our utmost duty to protect that trust. Therefore, we always ensure that every article we publish is medically accurate, up-to-date, and easy to understand.
But, we are also human. No matter how hard we try, sometimes a small mistake can happen unexpectedly. The most important thing is, when such a mistake occurs, to correct it quickly and transparently, without hiding it. That is the primary purpose of this policy.
There are two types of corrections we make.
Simply put, the corrections we make can be divided into two main categories. One is minor errors that do not affect the main idea or medical information of the article. The other is major errors that directly affect the content of the article and need to be corrected immediately.
| Correction type | Examples | What are we doing? |
|---|---|---|
| Minor Corrections | Things like spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and minor changes in sentence structure. | Since these do not affect the medical meaning of the article, we will correct them as soon as we see them without further notice . |
| Substantive/Major Corrections affecting content | An error in a medical fact, a dosage of a medicine, a statistic, or incorrect information about a procedure. | We will immediately correct the relevant part of the article. Also, there will be a note about the correction on this page for 60 days. Through it, you can go to the corrected article and see what is the difference. |
What does this policy apply to?
This is something we all need to remember. This correction policy only applies to original articles, health news, and other medical content that we write ourselves .
Sometimes, we may publish articles on our website that we have obtained from other recognized health institutions or experts (licensed or third-party content). If there is an error in such an article, the responsibility for correcting it lies with the original author or that institution. Even if we inform them of it, the final responsibility remains with them.
