Our Mission
DiseaseBuddy aims to make information about diseases, infectious disease outbreaks, epidemiology, public health and scientific developments accessible to a general audience.
We seek to explain not only what diseases are, but also their historical significance, public health impact, prevention, economic burden and lessons for future outbreaks.
Sources and Evidence
Where appropriate, our articles draw on peer-reviewed scientific literature, systematic reviews, official public health reports, surveillance data and publications from recognised health organisations.
Examples of sources we may consult include the World Health Organization, the UK Health Security Agency, the NHS, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and relevant scientific journals and databases.
We aim to link to original sources for important statistics and claims.
Accuracy and Uncertainty
We aim to distinguish established findings from preliminary research, estimates, hypotheses and interpretation.
Statistics may differ between sources because of different reporting periods, case definitions, methodologies or data limitations. Where relevant, we aim to explain these differences rather than present uncertain estimates as definitive facts.
Health and Medical Content
Our content is educational and does not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
We encourage readers to consult qualified healthcare professionals and relevant public health authorities for individual medical concerns or current recommendations.
Corrections and Updates
We welcome corrections from readers, researchers and subject experts.
When a material error is identified, we aim to review it and correct the article where appropriate. Significant updates may be reflected in the article’s revision date or an explanatory note.
To report an error, contact diseasebuddy2026@gmail.com.
Independence and Transparency
Where relevant, we will identify sponsored content, affiliate relationships and other material commercial interests.
We aim to keep editorial conclusions grounded in evidence rather than advertising interests.
