Editorial Policy.
In order to accomplish the goals proposed above, we aim at establishing an editorial policy oriented by the professional qualification of our medical team, which is comprised of 50 senior health professionals of undisputed aptness, covering diverse medical specialties recognized by the Federal Medicine Council, in addition to guests from other professional areas.
Adopting a standard for the articles, written in a language accessible to lay public, without, however, neglecting the technical quality and the consistency of the information conveyed, we address about 500 health-related topics and ensure that the Portal isn't used for medical consultations, clinical diagnosis, drug prescription, or treatment of diseases and health problems, since a consultation demands dialogue, evaluation of the patient's physical and mental condition, and personal advisory is needed prior to any examination or medical procedure.
