Our Editorial Policy
How every piece of Cure.Care health content is researched, written, medically reviewed, fact-checked and kept current — and the standards that protect your trust at every step.
- Accuracy first
- Medical review
- Evidence-based
- Editorially independent
- Transparent & accountable
The principles behind every word we publish
Our editorial policy rests on six commitments. They shape how we research, write, review and update every piece of health content on Cure.Care.
-
01
Accuracy above all
Every health claim is checked against current medical evidence. If something can’t be supported by reliable sources, we don’t publish it.
-
02
Medically reviewed
Health content is reviewed by qualified professionals on our Medical Board before it reaches you, following our medical review policy.
-
03
Editorially independent
Editorial decisions are never influenced by advertisers, sponsors or affiliates. Our guidance stays neutral and in your interest.
-
04
Clear & compassionate
We explain complex medicine in plain, calm language — never fear-based, never sensational, always respectful of how it feels to search for health answers.
-
05
Transparent by default
We show who wrote and reviewed content, when it was updated, and the sources we relied on — so you can judge it for yourself.
-
06
Accountable & correctable
If we get something wrong, we fix it openly. Our corrections policy explains how, and you can always tell us.
How every page is made & checked
No Cure.Care health article is published on a single person’s opinion. Each one moves through six deliberate stages before — and after — it reaches you.
-
Research & planning
We map what people genuinely need to know, then gather evidence from recognised medical authorities before a single word is written.
-
Written by health writers
Trained health writers turn the evidence into clear, calm, plain-language content — structured so it’s easy to read and easy to trust.
-
Key step
Medical review
A qualified professional from our Medical Board reviews the content for clinical accuracy, balance and safety, in line with our medical review policy.
-
Fact-check & sourcing
Claims, statistics and references are verified against their original sources and cited, following our fact-checking policy.
-
Publish with transparency
We publish with a visible author, reviewer, last-updated date and source list — so you always know who stands behind the content.
-
Reviewed & kept current
Content is revisited on a regular cycle and updated whenever medical guidance changes — with corrections made openly when needed.
Where our information comes from
Health guidance is only as trustworthy as its sources. We rely on recognised medical authorities and peer-reviewed research — and we tell you which ones.
Sources we trust
We prioritise primary, authoritative sources over secondary commentary.
- WHO — World Health Organization
- NIH & MedlinePlus — National Institutes of Health
- CDC — Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
- ICMR — Indian Council of Medical Research
- Peer-reviewed journals & PubMed-indexed research
-
We weigh the evidence
Systematic reviews and clinical guidelines carry more weight than single studies or anecdote. We make the strength of evidence clear with phrasing like “studies suggest” or “guidelines recommend”.
-
We attribute clearly
Statistics and key claims are linked or cited to their original source, so you can follow the trail and verify it yourself.
-
We keep it fresh
Each page carries a last-updated and last-reviewed date. Content is revisited on a regular cycle and refreshed whenever medical guidance changes.
-
What we won’t do
We don’t present unproven claims as fact, promote miracle cures, or use fear to drive clicks. If the evidence isn’t there, neither is the claim.
AI assists. People decide.
We use AI tools to help research, structure and draft content faster — but no health information is published on AI alone. Every page is shaped, checked and approved by qualified humans.
- Human-led, always. AI never has the final word on health content — trained writers and medical reviewers do.
- Reviewed for safety. AI-assisted drafts go through the same medical review and fact-checking as everything else.
- No fabrication. We never let AI invent statistics, studies or expert quotes. Claims must trace to real sources.
AI accelerates the work — humans guarantee the trust.
Honest content, and a way to hold us to it
Trust isn’t just about getting things right — it’s about staying independent, owning mistakes, and listening when you tell us something’s off.
Editorial independence
Our health content is created independently of commercial interests. Advertising, sponsorships and affiliate partnerships never influence what we say or recommend.
- Editorial and advertising are kept separate
- Any affiliate links are clearly disclosed
- Guidance stays medically neutral
Corrections, made openly
When we get something wrong, we fix it — and we’re transparent about meaningful changes rather than quietly editing them away.
- Errors are corrected promptly
- Significant updates are noted
- Review history is preserved internally
