1. Purpose
Health Education by Sineth Hospitals aims to provide clear, practical, and reliable health information for patients and families.
Our purpose is to help readers understand diseases, symptoms, investigations, treatments, and health tools in plain English.
This website is educational. It is not intended to replace professional medical consultation, diagnosis, or treatment.
2. Medical Input and Review
Health articles on this platform are prepared or reviewed with medical input where appropriate.
Dr. Seneth Gajasinghe, MBBS (Col), MD (Col), SLMC No. 27329, provides medical oversight and expert contribution to the platform.
Our review process is designed to improve medical accuracy, patient safety, clarity, and responsible communication.
This is an editorial medical review process, not an academic journal review process.
3. Evidence and Source Quality
We aim to base health information on accepted medical knowledge, clinical reasoning, and reliable medical sources.
Where appropriate, articles may refer to clinical guidelines, medical textbooks, peer-reviewed literature, public health guidance, or established clinical practice.
Content is written for patients and families, so technical details may be simplified without intentionally changing the medical meaning.
4. Patient-Friendly Language
Many health topics are difficult for patients because they are often explained using technical medical language.
Our editorial approach is to explain medical topics in clear English while preserving clinical accuracy.
We aim to help patients ask better questions, understand warning signs, and communicate more effectively with healthcare providers.
5. Limitations of Online Health Information
Online health information cannot assess an individual patient's full medical history, physical examination findings, risk factors, test results, or personal circumstances.
Articles on this website should not be used to diagnose yourself, start or stop treatment, delay emergency care, or replace consultation with a doctor.
6. Health Tools and Calculators
Health tools and calculators on this website are intended for educational and general guidance purposes only.
Results from tools such as BMI calculators, body fat estimators, blood sugar readers, or kidney function calculators should be interpreted together with symptoms, medical history, examination findings, laboratory reports, and advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
Tool results should not be used as the only basis for medical decisions.
7. Updates and Corrections
Medical knowledge changes over time. We may update articles when new information becomes available, when guidance changes, or when content needs clarification.
If an error is identified, we may correct or revise the relevant content.
Readers may contact us if they believe a page contains inaccurate, unclear, or outdated information.
8. Advertising and Editorial Independence
This health education website may display advertisements.
Advertising does not determine our medical content, article conclusions, health recommendations, or educational priorities.
Advertisements should not be interpreted as medical endorsements by Sineth Hospitals or Dr. Seneth Gajasinghe unless explicitly stated.
