About us

Who we are

Checkup Compass is an independent health blog for people in India. We cover preventive health check-ups and screening tests. We do not diagnose, prescribe, run a clinic or lab, or sell medicines, tests or supplements. Start with our latest article, Preventive health check-up guide.

Who writes here

Articles are researched and written by the Checkup Compass editorial team. We write from published clinical guidelines and peer-reviewed research, and we link every source so you can check it yourself. We do not present our articles as a doctor's opinion.

We welcome articles from registered doctors and other healthcare professionals. If you would like to contribute, see our editorial policy below.

How we write

• Evidence first. We start from national and international guidelines (such as ICMR, WHO and specialist societies) and peer-reviewed studies, and cite them at the end of every article.
• Written for India. We use Indian units, foods, test names and health services, and explain the terms you will see on your reports.
• Plain language. We explain medical words the first time we use them and keep sentences short.
• Clear about limits. Where evidence is weak or experts disagree, we say so.
• Dated. Each page shows when it was last updated. We review pages when guidelines change.

Editorial policy

• We do not give personal medical advice, and we never give dose, timing or medicine-combination instructions. Decisions about medicines belong with your doctor.
• We do not make cure claims or promise results.
• We do not accept payment for articles, links or rankings, and we carry no advertising.
• We do not name, promote or rank individual doctors, hospitals or labs.
• If you spot a mistake, please tell us through the corrections form. We correct errors promptly and update the date on the page.

We cannot give personal medical advice. In an emergency, call 112.
