To reduce bias, each article or fact check undergoes a series of checks by various team members, ensuring the final content is balanced and factually accurate before it is published.

Our policies ensure that personal political activities do not compromise our commitment to non-partisanship
• Don’t concentrate on writing on any one side:

        - We ensure that we provide details about our sources transparently, except in cases where a source’s personal security could be compromised.

        - As we fact-check stories, we ensure that we explain to our readers how we fact-check. Still, in case they would like to know more, we can be contacted via the Contact Us page.

        - We seek non-partisan, publicly available information while writing our stories.

Adhering to these principles reaffirms our dedication to contributing to informed public discourse on health and medical issues, guided by a steadfast commitment to accuracy, transparency, and impartiality.
