Editorial Policy

Plain English

All healthcare content is written in plain English for an international audience. Where a technical term is necessary, we explain it in context.

Sources and separation

We distinguish clearly between general healthcare information, information provided by a hospital, clinical claims and China Medical editorial content. Hospital pages carry a last reviewed date.

We never promise clinical outcomes, invent statistics, credentials, accreditations or awards, or present unverified information as confirmed.

Commercial relationships

Where a commercial relationship exists with a provider, it does not change how content is written or reviewed, and does not lead to claims about clinical quality.
