Editorial Policy

Editorial Policy

How we write, review, and update every article on Medi Madad.

Our commitment: Every article on Medi Madad is written by a practising medical doctor, grounded in peer-reviewed science, and free from commercial bias. We do not publish health content we cannot verify.

1. Who Writes Our Articles

All content on Medi Madad is written by Dr. Ajit Jha, MBBS, MD Medicine — a practising General Physician and Internal Medicine Specialist with over two decades of clinical experience. We do not publish content from anonymous writers, AI-only outputs, or non-medically trained freelancers without physician review.

2. How We Research

Before writing any article, Dr. Jha reviews:

  • Peer-reviewed studies from PubMed, NEJM, The Lancet, JAMA, BMJ, and Nature Medicine
  • Clinical trial results from ClinicalTrials.gov, medRxiv, and conference proceedings (ASCO, AHA, etc.)
  • Guidelines from WHO, ICMR, ADA, ACC, and other recognised medical bodies
  • Drug approval data from USFDA, CDSCO, and EMA

We distinguish clearly between observational studies and randomised controlled trials, and we note when evidence is preliminary or limited.

3. Medical Review Process

Every article goes through the following steps before publication:

1

Research review — primary sources identified and assessed for quality and relevance

2

Medical writing — Dr. Jha drafts the article in plain language without losing clinical accuracy

3

Accuracy check — all statistics, drug names, dosages, and claims are verified against source material

4

Publication — article is published with full author attribution and date stamp

5

Periodic review — articles are updated when new evidence emerges or guidelines change

4. Sources We Use

We cite only high-quality, authoritative sources. These include:

  • Medical journals: NEJM, JAMA, The Lancet, BMJ, Nature Medicine, PLOS Medicine
  • Preprint servers (with caveats clearly noted): medRxiv, bioRxiv
  • Regulatory bodies: USFDA, WHO, ICMR, CDSCO, EMA
  • Clinical registries: ClinicalTrials.gov, CTRI (India)
  • Medical associations: AHA, ADA, AAN, AASM, IMA

We do not cite press releases, blogs, or non-peer-reviewed popular media as primary sources.

5. Commercial Independence

Medi Madad earns revenue through display advertising (Google AdSense) and affiliate links to health products on Amazon. These commercial relationships do not influence our editorial content. Articles are never written to promote specific products, and affiliate links are always disclosed.

6. Corrections Policy

If you believe an article contains a factual error, please email us at ajitjha1973@gmail.com. We take corrections seriously and will review, correct, and note the change in the article within 48 hours if the error is confirmed.

7. Update Policy

Medical science evolves rapidly. We review articles periodically and update them when:

  • New clinical trial results change the evidence base
  • Regulatory bodies update drug approvals or guidelines
  • Readers or medical professionals report outdated information

Updated articles display a “Last Updated” date alongside the original publication date.
