Editorial Policy

Last updated: 9 October 2026

UrBharat exists to share practical, trustworthy health and wellness information in plain language. This policy explains how we choose topics, research and write articles, and handle corrections.

Our editorial principles

  • Accuracy: we aim to present information that reflects current, mainstream evidence and guidance.
  • Clarity: we write for everyday readers and explain medical terms where we use them.
  • Balance: we avoid sensational claims, “miracle cures” and fear-based messaging.
  • Transparency: we are open about what our content is, and is not.

How we choose topics

We cover topics that help readers with everyday health decisions, based on common questions, reader feedback and areas where clear, practical information is useful.

Research and sources

When researching an article, we rely on reputable sources such as national and international public health bodies (for example, the World Health Organization, the Indian Council of Medical Research and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare), peer-reviewed research and established medical references. Where an article relies on specific studies or guidance, we aim to link to or cite those sources.

Medical review

UrBharat articles are written for general education. Unless an article specifically states otherwise, it has not been reviewed by a medical professional and should not be used as a substitute for professional advice. See our Medical Disclaimer.

Updates and corrections

Health guidance changes over time. We revisit articles when we become aware of new guidance or errors. If you believe something on UrBharat is inaccurate or out of date, please tell us through our Contact page (choose “Report an error / request a correction” and include the page link). We review every correction request and update the article where appropriate.

Advertising and independence

UrBharat may display advertising, including ads served by Google AdSense, to support the website. Advertisers do not influence our editorial content, and advertisements are kept visually separate from articles. If we ever publish sponsored content, it will be clearly labelled as such.

Feedback

We welcome feedback on our content and this policy. Get in touch through our Contact page.
