What we publish, and why
Our Health Library covers conditions, symptoms, treatments, recovery and prevention for an international audience considering care in Türkiye. Content is informational: it supports conversations with doctors, it never replaces them, and it never provides a diagnosis or an individual treatment recommendation.
How an article is made
Topics are selected from real patient questions and information needs. Drafts are prepared against a structured clinical brief, then pass through a multi-step pipeline: editorial review for clarity, accuracy checks against reputable clinical sources, and — for medical claims — review under our Medical Review Board process before publication. No article reaches you on autopilot: a qualified human approves what is published.
Our sourcing standards
- Peer-reviewed research, international clinical guidelines and recognised medical institutions form our evidence base.
- Where evidence is limited or debated, we say so plainly rather than overstating certainty.
- Anecdote, marketing claims and single unverified studies are not treated as evidence.
Keeping content current
Health guidance changes. Articles carry review dates, are re-examined when significant new evidence emerges, and are updated, merged or retired when they no longer meet our standards. See our Corrections Policy for how errors are handled.
Independence
Editorial decisions are made to serve readers. Clinical review verdicts belong to the reviewing clinicians and are not altered for commercial reasons.
