This is how GD HEALTH writes: researched from reputable public health sources, written in plain Nigerian English, reviewed for accuracy, and corrected openly when we get something wrong.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1. Who We Write For<\/h2>\n

GD HEALTH is written for Nigerian families, market women, students, teachers \u2014 anyone who wants to understand their health without a medical dictionary. Every article answers one question: what does this mean for someone living in Nigeria?<\/em><\/p>\n

2. How We Research<\/h2>\n

Our articles start from publicly available sources: the World Health Organization, Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, teaching-hospital patient information, and established health references. We then translate that material into plain language, keeping the Nigerian names for foods, herbs and conditions \u2014 ugwu<\/em>, agbo<\/em>, opolo eye<\/em>, typhoid \u2014 because health education only works when it sounds like home.<\/p>\n

3. What We Promise (and Refuse)<\/h2>\n

We promise: plain language, honest uncertainty (where evidence is limited, we say so), respect for Nigerian traditional foods and remedies, and clear guidance on when to see a doctor.<\/p>\n

We refuse: miracle-cure claims, fear-mongering, fake testimonials, and anything that tells you to replace your doctor with our articles. See our Health Disclaimer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. Independence<\/h2>\n

Advertisers and affiliate partners have no say in our articles. Editorial content and advertising are kept clearly separate \u2014 our Advertising Policy<\/a> explains the standards any advertisement must meet. Sponsored content, if ever published, is labelled as sponsored.<\/p>\n

5. Corrections and Updates<\/h2>\n

Health knowledge changes, and so do our pages. When a reader or a new study shows we got something wrong, we correct the article and thank the person who told us. Major corrections are noted on the page. Spotted an error? Email hello@gdsite.com.ng or WhatsApp 0913 784 2661 \u2014 corrections move to the front of our queue.<\/p>\n

6. Reader Requests<\/h2>\n

Readers can request topics \u2014 a condition, a fruit, a spice \u2014 and requests shape our publishing queue. Request yours on our Contact page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
