1. Educational Information Only
DiseaseBuddy provides health and medical information for general educational purposes. Our content covers infectious diseases, symptoms, transmission, prevention, vaccines, treatment developments, epidemiology and public health.
The information on this website is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
Reading an article on DiseaseBuddy does not establish a doctor-patient relationship or create a clinical consultation.
2. Do Not Use Website Content for Self-Diagnosis
Symptoms discussed in our articles may occur in several different conditions. The presence or absence of a symptom does not establish whether someone has a particular disease.
Do not diagnose yourself or another person solely on the basis of information published on this website.
If you have concerns about your health, seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
3. Medical Emergencies
Do not delay emergency care because of something you have read on DiseaseBuddy.
If you believe you or another person is experiencing a medical emergency in the UK, call 999 or attend an emergency department as appropriate. If you are elsewhere, contact your local emergency service.
4. Medicines, Vaccines and Treatment
Information about medicines, vaccines, diagnostic tests, preventive measures or treatment options is provided for educational purposes.
Recommendations may differ according to age, medical history, pregnancy, allergies, local disease patterns, emerging evidence and national guidance.
Do not start, stop or change a medicine or treatment without appropriate professional advice.
For vaccination and infectious disease prevention, consult the relevant national health authority or a qualified healthcare professional.
5. Outbreaks and Public Health Guidance
Information about outbreaks, emerging infections, transmission risks and prevention may change rapidly.
An article may not reflect the latest situation in your area. Consult current guidance from appropriate authorities, such as the World Health Organization, the UK Health Security Agency, the NHS or the relevant public health authority in your country.
6. Research and Scientific Evidence
DiseaseBuddy may discuss scientific studies, preprints, systematic reviews, historical reports and observational data.
A research finding does not automatically establish causation, clinical effectiveness or an appropriate treatment for an individual. Preliminary findings may later be revised or contradicted.
We aim to present evidence responsibly, but readers should consult qualified professionals when applying medical information to personal circumstances.
7. No Individualised Medical Advice
DiseaseBuddy does not provide personalised diagnoses, prescriptions, treatment plans or emergency medical services through its articles or general contact channels.
Do not submit medical records or sensitive personal health information through ordinary website forms or email.
8. Limitation of Responsibility
To the extent permitted by applicable law, DiseaseBuddy is not responsible for decisions made solely on the basis of general educational content published on the website.
Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, or removes any rights that cannot legally be excluded.
9. Contact and Corrections
We welcome corrections concerning medical accuracy, outdated recommendations and scientific references.
