Medical Disclaimer

This Medical Disclaimer applies to the Health 24 website available at https://health-24.org/ and to the articles, guides, images, tools, and other materials made available through the website (collectively, the “Site”). Health 24 is an independent health information project. References to “Health 24,” “we,” “us,” or “our” in this Disclaimer refer to the Site and its editorial operation.

Informational and Educational Purposes Only

The Site provides general health information for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on the Site is intended to provide personal medical advice, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, prescribing, emergency triage, or any other individualized healthcare service.

Health information can never account for every person’s symptoms, medical history, medications, allergies, age, pregnancy status, test results, risk factors, or local standard of care. Do not use the Site as a substitute for consultation with a physician or another appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

No Healthcare Professional–Patient Relationship

Your access to or use of the Site, including sending a message to Health 24, does not create a physician–patient, clinician–patient, therapist–patient, pharmacist–patient, or other professional healthcare relationship. Health 24 does not provide telemedicine, clinical consultations, prescriptions, or individual treatment plans.

Medical Emergencies

Do not use the Site or email Health 24 for emergency medical assistance. If you believe you or another person may be experiencing a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately. Do not delay seeking urgent care because of information you have read on the Site.

Personal Medical Decisions

Always seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional regarding symptoms, diagnoses, tests, medications, supplements, medical devices, treatment options, preventive measures, or changes to an existing care plan. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it solely because of information published on the Site.

Healthcare recommendations, medicine availability, product labeling, screening schedules, vaccination programs, emergency numbers, and standards of care may differ between countries and may change over time. Where local guidance applies, consult an appropriate professional or public health authority in your jurisdiction.

Medications, Supplements, Products, and Procedures

References to a medication, supplement, medical device, test, procedure, product, brand, or service are provided for general educational context only. They do not constitute a prescription, recommendation, endorsement, guarantee of safety, or guarantee of effectiveness.

Do not start, stop, combine, substitute, or change the dose or manner of use of any prescription medicine, over-the-counter medicine, supplement, or medical device based only on information from the Site. Product instructions, contraindications, interactions, approvals, and availability vary by person and jurisdiction.

Accuracy, Completeness, and Timeliness

We aim to publish clear and reliable content and to update important pages when appropriate. However, medical knowledge, public health guidance, product information, and clinical recommendations may change. We do not guarantee that every page is complete, error-free, current, or suitable for every reader or circumstance.

Publication and update dates should not be interpreted as a guarantee that no relevant information has changed since the page was reviewed. Readers should verify important decisions with current local guidance and qualified professionals.

AI-Assisted Editorial Workflows

Health 24 may use artificial intelligence and other automated tools to assist with research organization, outlining, drafting, editing, or content maintenance. AI-assisted output may contain errors or omit important context. Published content is subject to human editorial oversight, but the use of such tools does not transform general information into individualized medical advice.

For more information about how we create and review content, see our Editorial Policy and Content Review and Fact-Checking Policy.

The Site may link to third-party websites, publications, organizations, products, or services. External links are provided for convenience or reference. Health 24 does not control third-party content, privacy practices, availability, or security and is not responsible for them.

A link, citation, or reference does not necessarily imply endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, or approval. Readers should evaluate third-party information independently and review the applicable terms and privacy notices of external services.

Advertising, Sponsorships, and Commercial References

The Site may display advertising or contain commercial references. Unless expressly stated, the appearance of an advertisement or reference to a third-party product, service, or organization does not constitute endorsement by Health 24. Sponsored, affiliate, or otherwise compensated content, if used, should be identified in accordance with applicable disclosure requirements.

Use of the Site and Assumption of Risk

You are responsible for how you use the information available on the Site. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you assume the risks associated with relying on general online health information without obtaining individualized professional advice.

No Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Site and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not make warranties or representations, whether express, implied, or statutory, regarding uninterrupted access, accuracy, completeness, reliability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or results obtained from using the Site.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Health 24 and persons involved in operating, editing, maintaining, or providing the Site will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive losses arising from or related to access to, inability to access, use of, or reliance on the Site or third-party content.

Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes or limits any liability, remedy, or statutory right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law. Mandatory consumer protections and other non-waivable rights remain unaffected.

International Use

The Site is accessible internationally, but we do not represent that every part of the Site is appropriate, lawful, accurate, or available for use in every jurisdiction. Users are responsible for complying with laws and professional guidance applicable in their location.
