Medical Disclaimer
Health content on this website is for education only and does not replace professional medical care.

Educational purpose only
Health information published on this website — including articles, outreach summaries, and statistics — is provided for general public education. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.
No doctor-patient relationship
Reading this website, submitting a contact form, or attending an NHF outreach event does not, by itself, create a doctor-patient relationship. Clinical decisions about your health should be made with a licensed healthcare provider who has assessed your specific situation.
If you have symptoms or an urgent concern
If you have symptoms, an urgent health concern, or an ongoing medical condition, seek appropriate care from a qualified healthcare professional or the nearest hospital without delay. In a medical emergency, go to the nearest emergency department or call your local emergency services immediately — do not wait for a response from NHF.
External sources
Where this website links to external health authorities such as WHO, NCDC, or Africa CDC, those links are provided for information only. NHF does not control and is not responsible for the content of external websites.
Accuracy
We aim to keep health education content accurate and up to date, and review it periodically. Medical knowledge evolves, so always confirm current guidance with a qualified professional before making health decisions.
