Clear information
We explain symptoms, warning signs, self-care, and when to seek medical help without trying to diagnose the reader.
Editorial policy
How we prepare and check health information.
HamroSwasthya provides general health information for Nepali patients and families. It is designed to support understanding and informed conversations with health professionals; it is not personal medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Clinical review
Who reviews our health information
Published health guides are personally checked and approved by Dr Rupesh Puri, GP Registrar with University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, England.
Reliable sources
We use national and international guidance where appropriate, including Nepal MoHP or EDCD, WHO, NHS, NICE, CDC, and peer-reviewed sources when needed.
Clinical review
Before publication, a doctor checks the information for clinical accuracy, safety, clear language, and appropriate advice on seeking care.
How information is prepared and checked
- Start with reliable guidance.We use recognised health guidance and reputable clinical sources as the basis for each topic.
- Prepare it for readers.Editorial and language tools may help organise, draft, or translate information. They support the process; they do not make clinical decisions or publish information independently.
- Check it before publication.Dr Puri reviews published guides against appropriate guidance, with particular attention to accuracy, safety, clarity, and advice about when to seek medical care.
- Keep it under review.We update information when important guidance changes or when a concern is identified.
Corrections and updates
Careful review reduces the risk of mistakes, but it cannot make health information error-free. Typographical, translation, clarity, or factual errors can still occur, and medical guidance can change.
If you notice information that seems inaccurate, unclear, out of date, or incomplete, please email us. Please do not include personal health information in your message. We review reports and correct material errors where appropriate.
