Explore guidesHow our content is made
Four steps. Two clinicians. No shortcuts.
Every guide passes the same process before it reaches you. We would rather publish slowly than publish wrong.
A Nigerian clinician drafts
Using current clinical guidelines, including Nigerian national guidelines where they exist.
An editor rewrites for clarity
For a reading age of 12, with local examples and culturally accurate framing.
A second clinician reviews
Independent of the writer. Their name and credentials appear on every page.
We re-review every two years
Or sooner when guidelines change. The last review date is always shown.
