When information from external sources is used, we aim to add context, explanation and original editorial value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3) Healthcare Content And Medical Review<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthcare information requires particular care. All healthcare-related content is reviewed by a suitably qualified healthcare professional for medical accuracy and clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Medical review does not necessarily mean that every statement or recommendation represents the personal opinion of the reviewer. A medical reviewer is responsible for assessing the medical information presented in the article, while the editorial team remains responsible for the overall presentation and publication of the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our healthcare content is intended for general informational and educational purposes. It is not intended to replace consultation with a qualified healthcare professional, diagnosis or individualised medical advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4) Insurance Content<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Insurance-related content may be written or reviewed by individuals with relevant industry experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insurance products, policies, premiums, benefits and eligibility requirements can vary between insurers and may change over time. Readers should refer to the relevant insurer or financial institution for the latest product terms and obtain professional advice where appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our editorial content is intended to provide general information and should not be interpreted as personalised financial or insurance advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5) Sources and References<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We aim to use reliable and authoritative sources when researching our content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the subject, sources may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Singapore government agencies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Healthcare institutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Professional medical organisations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peer-reviewed research and academic publications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insurance companies and industry sources<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other reputable organisations and publications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Where appropriate, relevant sources and references are provided within or at the end of an article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6) Updating Our Content<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthcare and insurance information can change over time.
