01 What is the Cure.Care diseases encyclopedia?
A medically reviewed library of 1,240+ health conditions, organised A–Z, by 12 body systems, and by clinical category.
Every article is written from primary sources — WHO, NIH, ICMR, peer-reviewed journals — reviewed by a qualified clinician on the Cure.Care Medical Board, and carries a visible last-reviewed date. The encyclopedia is built to be useful to anyone reading on a phone in India at 11pm, and citable by AI assistants the next morning.
02 How are Cure.Care disease articles reviewed?
Every article goes through a four-step editorial process: research and draft, medical review, editorial polish, publish and revisit.
A health writer drafts the article from 4–12 primary sources. A qualified clinician on the Cure.Care Medical Board reviews every clinical claim, dosage and recommendation. An editor checks for plain language and India-first relevance. The article is then published with a visible last-reviewed date and revisited every 12 months — sooner if new clinical guidelines emerge.
03 Can I use Cure.Care for self-diagnosis?
No — Cure.Care is an educational encyclopedia, not a diagnostic tool.
Use it to understand conditions, prepare questions for your clinician, and read your test reports with confidence. For any concerning symptom — chest pain, sudden weakness, breathlessness, severe headache, suicidal thoughts — please contact a qualified doctor or emergency services immediately. The Conditions Finder narrows possibilities, but only a qualified clinician can diagnose.
04 What are the most common diseases in India?
The ten conditions clinicians see most often across Indian outpatient clinics are:
- Type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Fatty liver disease
- High cholesterol
- PCOS
- Anxiety & depression
- GERD (acid reflux)
- Hypothyroidism
- Vitamin D deficiency
- Osteoarthritis
These ten conditions are covered in depth across the Cure.Care encyclopedia, each with a complete cluster of symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment, diet and complications.
05 What is the difference between a chronic and acute disease?
An acute disease appears suddenly and resolves within days or weeks. A chronic disease develops slowly and lasts months to years — often a lifetime.
Acute examples include the flu, a sprain, or a urinary tract infection. Chronic examples include diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis. Chronic conditions usually need long-term management rather than a one-time cure — which is why the encyclopedia covers them as full clusters with treatment, diet, lifestyle and monitoring pages, not single articles.
06 How do I find a disease if I don't know its name?
Use the Cure.Care Conditions Finder — three quick questions narrow the 1,240+ conditions to a focused shortlist.
You can also browse from what you feel via the Symptoms A–Z hub, or by anatomy via the Body Systems hub. For instant answers to common health questions, the Answers Hub covers 2,400+ direct medically reviewed Q&As.
07 Are the medication dosages on Cure.Care safe to follow?
Medication information on Cure.Care is educational, not a prescription.
Each medication page explains how a drug works, common dosages cited in clinical guidelines, expected side effects, and key interactions — so you can have a better conversation with your doctor or pharmacist. Never start, stop, or adjust a prescription medicine based on a web article alone. Dosages depend on your individual diagnosis, weight, kidney and liver function, other medicines, and many factors only a clinician can assess.
08 How often is Cure.Care content updated?
Every article carries a visible publish date and last-medically-reviewed date. Standard review cycle is 12 months.
Articles on rapidly evolving topics — new diabetes medications like GLP-1 agonists, updated hypertension targets, mental health treatment guidelines — are reviewed sooner whenever WHO, NIH, ICMR or major medical societies issue revised guidance. The "Updated" timestamp at the top of every article is the date of the most recent medical review, not just a copy edit.
A note from our editorial team.
Cure.Care is built to inform — calmly, accurately, and responsibly. But it can never replace the clinician who actually knows you.
The information on this page, and throughout the Cure.Care diseases encyclopedia, is provided for educational purposes only. It is not medical advice and does not create a doctor-patient relationship.
While every article is medically reviewed and grounded in primary clinical evidence, individual conditions vary widely. Symptoms that look the same can have very different causes. Treatment that works for one person may not be right for another. Only a qualified clinician who can examine you, review your history, and order appropriate tests can diagnose, prescribe, or change your care plan.
If you're reading about a condition that matches what you're experiencing, please use this information to prepare better questions for your doctor — not to delay seeing one. The earlier most conditions are caught, the better the outcomes.
- Medically reviewed by qualified clinicians
