Fact-Checking Policy

Updated 16 Oct 2026 1 min read

Health information must be right. This is how we check it.

  1. Official sources first

    Central TB Division and NTEP knowledge base pages, ICMR Standard Treatment Workflows, Health Ministry and PIB releases, Parliament answers, and state NHM pages.

  2. Major medical references

    WHO, CDC and NHS, where Indian sources do not cover a point.

  3. Every number listed

    Each amount, duration, percentage and phone number is recorded with its source URL and the date we checked it. Time-sensitive facts carry an “as of” date.

  4. What we leave out

    If we cannot verify something, such as a new instalment timetable, we say so rather than guess.

  5. Regular review

    We recheck key facts and update pages when the programme changes.
