Fapello’s mission is to empower our global community with credible, trustworthy and easy-to-understand information about healthcare issues. Following the principled vision of our founder, Dr. Umar, we have made a pledge to protect the very standards of integrity that are found in both journalism and the field of medicine. This editorial policy explains all the principles that govern all content published on our platform.
Editorial Independence
Fapello is self-financed and editorially independent, with no restrictions on the content of publications. We do not advertise, promote or provide endorsements for particular products, services or treatments. Our policy of editorial impartiality does not permit acceptance of funding or sponsorships, regardless of the amount or source—be it pharmaceuticals, medical devices or any other industry which has the potential to influence our editorial content or decision making.
Credible Sources
Our work is based on credible and evidence-based sources. These consist of medical journals, documents from major government health agencies and information from reputable physicians and medical institutions. Content that is produced from the personal anecdotes or opinions of an individual is not published.
Accuracy and Objectivity
Our work is error free, up-to-date and is of objective nature. All content is subjected to fact-checking to ensure that it is based on evidence and best practices that are contemporary in medical science, regardless of whether the content is within our provider’s clinical tools or external publications.
Transparency
Our process adopts transparency as a core tenet. We notify our audiences of any potential interest conflicts pertaining to our content as well as it’s sources, making certain that our audiences understand the editorial content, it’s construction and it’s purpose.
Editorial Review
Each piece of content is reviewed by the team of experienced editors and when applicable, certified medical professionals, as part of a multi-step process for every piece of content. This process thoroughly evaluates the content to ensure that all relevant information is presented in the proper context while also addressing the target audience’s needs. We appreciate the feedback and take the initiative to address any issues that have been identified.
Privacy and Confidentiality
Fapello has and will always have, a commitment to the information privacy of our users and our medical professionals. We are compliant to the full extent, regarding relevant governing legislation, to the collection and personal information, as well as the ethical standards applicable to it’s usage and safeguarding.
Content Guidelines
Our content is produced using most recent expert medical research, the dominant opinions of authoritative figures in that field and basic principles of healthcare communications. We aim to deconstruct complicated medical information to make it useful and relevant for audiences irrespective of their varying levels of exposure to medical information.
