What this content is for

Our health library, fact sheets and toolkits exist to help people understand a condition well enough to make decisions and ask better questions — of us, of a nurse, of a doctor. They are written in plain language and translated because health information that only reaches people who read English and hold a degree is not public health.

What it is not

• Not a diagnosis. Symptoms overlap. Matching a description on this site does not mean you have the condition it describes.
• Not a treatment plan. Nothing here accounts for your history, your other medications, your pregnancy, or your allergies.
• Not a doctor-patient relationship. Reading this site, or emailing us about it, does not create one.
• Not a reason to stop treatment. Never discontinue a prescribed medicine on the strength of something you read here.

How it is reviewed

Every clinical article is written or reviewed by a registered clinician before it is published, and re-reviewed at least every twenty-four months. The reviewer's name, registration and the review date appear at the foot of each article, so you can judge for yourself how current it is.

Where evidence is genuinely contested, we say so rather than picking the tidier answer.

Local context matters

We work across seven provinces in Cambodia. Treatment availability, drug naming, resistance patterns and clinical protocols differ between them, sometimes substantially. Guidance that is correct in one of the places we work can be wrong in another. Where a recommendation is region-specific, we label it — but your local health authority outranks us.

Medicines and dosages

We deliberately do not publish dosing tables for general readers. Dosages depend on weight, age, renal function and interactions, and a table stripped of that context does more harm than good. Our clinical toolkits, which do contain dosing guidance, are written for trained health workers operating under supervision.

Patient stories

The stories we publish are real and shared with written, informed and revocable consent. Names and identifying details are changed where the person asked for that. An individual outcome is not a prediction: recovery in one case does not mean a similar case will follow the same course.

Reporting an error

If you believe something on this site is clinically wrong, tell us at clinical@example.org. A clinician reviews every report. If we got it wrong we correct it and note the correction on the page rather than editing it quietly.
