Our blog is written by our internal medical content team and reviewed by our consultant radiologists, pathologists and biochemists before publication. We rely on guidelines from organisations such as the Indian Council of Medical Research, WHO and major peer-reviewed journals.
We write so that any motivated reader can follow the article without a medical dictionary. Where we use a technical term, we explain it.
Every clinical claim is checked by a qualified consultant before publication, and articles are dated and updated when guidelines change.
This blog is here to help you make sense of tests and reports. We never recommend a test you do not need, and we always defer to your treating doctor for clinical decisions.
