- Source quality and date matter, especially for travel, policy and clinical information.
- Public reporting is context, not evidence that a treatment is suitable for an individual.
- A clear correction process helps keep practical information accountable.
Read the source, not only the summary
Where an article makes a factual claim, follow the cited source and note its author, date, intended audience and limitations. Official institutions and original reporting usually carry more weight than reposts.
Know the limits of case reports
A patient story can illustrate a process or question, but it cannot predict eligibility, safety, result, cost or availability for another patient.
Check time-sensitive information again
Visa rules, hospital processes, service availability and prices can change. Treat any published page as a starting point and confirm current details with the relevant official source or provider.

We welcome substantiated correction requests and record material updates under our Sources & Corrections Policy.
