HealthCoach Africa exists to give people across Africa health information they can trust and act on. This policy explains who writes our content, how we check it, where our facts come from, and how we keep our guidance accurate, independent, and current.
Last updated September 2026Health information can change decisions, and sometimes lives. We hold our content to standards built for that responsibility.
Every clinical claim is grounded in credible, current evidence. If we are not sure, we do not publish it.
Clinical content is checked by licensed pharmacists and doctors before it carries a review line.
Guidance reflects the conditions, medicines, prices, and realities patients actually face on the continent.
Our health guidance is never shaped by advertisers or sponsors. Commercial content is always labelled.
Articles show when they were last updated and are revisited as evidence and guidelines change.
We write in plain language, without judgement, so anyone can understand their health and next steps.
Every clinical article moves through the same process before it reaches you.
Writers gather evidence from credible medical and public health sources.
Content is drafted in clear, plain language for a general African audience.
A licensed pharmacist or doctor checks the clinical accuracy and safety.
The article goes live with a named writer, reviewer, and review date.
We revisit content as guidelines, evidence, and local realities change.
Clinical content is reviewed by qualified, practising health professionals. The reviewer and date appear on each article they check.

We build our content on evidence, not opinion. Wherever possible we rely on:
We attribute claims where it helps the reader, avoid sensationalism, and clearly separate established evidence from emerging or contested findings. Our content is for education and does not replace advice from a qualified health professional who knows your situation.
Our health guidance is created independently of any advertiser, sponsor, or commercial partner. No third party can influence the clinical conclusions of an article.
Sponsored articles, partnerships, and promotional content are always clearly labelled as such and held to the same accuracy standards as our editorial content.
We use technology, including our AI health companion Afiya, to help research, draft, and translate content and to widen access to health information.
AI never has the final say on clinical accuracy. A qualified human writer is responsible for every article, and clinical content is checked by a licensed professional before it carries a review line.
If you spot an error or something that reads as out of date, please tell us. We investigate every report and correct or update content promptly when needed.
Each article shows a last-updated date, and clinically reviewed articles show the reviewer and review date.
HealthCoach Africa provides general health education. It is not a diagnosis, prescription, or personal medical advice.
Always speak with a qualified pharmacist or doctor about your own symptoms, medicines, and care. In an emergency, seek medical help immediately.
We welcome your input. Report an error, ask a health question, or reach our team, and we will get back to you.
