No doctor–patient relationship

Reading, watching, or interacting with content on Swasthya Plus does not create a doctor–patient, therapist–client, or any other professional relationship between you and Swasthya Plus, its contributors, or any Health Expert featured on the site.

No endorsement, no consultation referral

The appearance of a Health Expert on Swasthya Plus is not an endorsement of any product, service, or practice by that expert, nor is it an invitation from that expert for you to consult them as a patient. Swasthya Plusdoes not arrange appointments, facilitate consultations, or establish any clinical relationship between you and the Health Experts featured on the site. The Health Experts featured here retain their own professional independence and remain bound by the National Medical Commission’s professional conduct regulations, or by the equivalent council or professional-body rules for their field.

Not a substitute for professional advice

The videos, health topic overviews, and related material on Swasthya Plusare intended to help you understand health topics and prepare for conversations with qualified professionals. They are not intended to:

• Diagnose any disease or medical condition;
• Prescribe or recommend specific medicines, doses, treatments, or procedures for you individually;
• Replace an in-person examination by a qualified clinician;
• Manage a medical emergency.

Always consult a qualified Health Expert before starting, stopping, or changing any treatment, medicine, exercise programme, or diet. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read or seen on Swasthya Plus.

Third-party content

Swasthya Plus embeds videos hosted on YouTube and publishes health topic overviews written by Swasthya Plus using named reference sources such as MedlinePlus, NHS, and WHO. We link the relevant reference source on each health topic page. While we select sources we believe to be credible and make reasonable efforts to review our summaries, we cannot guarantee the availability, accuracy, or currency of any third-party platform or publication.

Accuracy and currency

Medicine evolves. Recommendations, guidelines, and standards of care may change after the date a video was recorded or a health topic page was last updated. Every page on Swasthya Plus carries a Last updated date; please take that into account when evaluating the information. Swasthya Plus makes reasonable efforts to keep content current but makes no warranty that any particular piece of content reflects the latest medical consensus.

Individual variation

Health outcomes depend on many factors unique to each person, including age, medical history, medications, family history, and lifestyle. General information cannot account for these factors. A suitable treatment for one person may be wrong for another with the same symptoms.

Medicines, dosages, and procedures

If a video or page mentions a medicine, dose, or procedure, treat it as general context only. Do not buy, take, adjust, or stop any medicine on the basis of content on Swasthya Plus. Dosage depends on individual factors that only a treating clinician can assess.
