Editorial Policy

Our Commitment to Accuracy

MapHospitals is committed to providing accurate, evidence-based health information. As a medical tourism platform, we recognise the responsibility that comes with publishing health-related content. Our editorial policy ensures that every piece of content meets rigorous standards before publication.

Content Creation Process

1. Research: Our writers use peer-reviewed journals, official medical guidelines (WHO, NHS, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic), and authoritative healthcare databases as primary sources.
2. Writing: Content is written in clear, accessible language while maintaining medical accuracy. We avoid sensationalism, unsubstantiated claims, and misleading statistics.
3. Editorial Review: All articles are reviewed by our editorial team for factual accuracy, completeness, and clarity before publication.
4. Publication: Published articles clearly display the author name, publication date, and last-reviewed date.

Content Updates

Medical knowledge evolves. We regularly review published content and update it when:

• New medical guidelines or research findings are released
• Treatment costs or availability change significantly
• Reader feedback identifies potential inaccuracies
• Hospital accreditations or credentials are updated

Updated articles display an "Updated" date alongside the original publication date.

Hospital & Doctor Information

Hospital profiles, doctor credentials, and accreditation information on MapHospitals are sourced from:

• Official hospital websites and verified submissions
• Recognised accreditation bodies (JCI, NABH, ISO, etc.)
• Medical council registrations and public directories
• Direct verification with healthcare providers

What We Don't Do

MapHospitals does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. Our content is informational and educational. Patients should always consult qualified healthcare providers before making treatment decisions.

Advertising & Sponsorship

Some hospitals on our platform have premium listings. Sponsored or promoted content is always clearly labelled. Editorial content is never influenced by commercial relationships.

Corrections & Feedback

If you believe any information on our platform is inaccurate or outdated, please contact us at [email protected]. We take all feedback seriously and will review and correct verified errors promptly.
