HealthDhana Advertising Policy

Effective Date: 01 September 2022
Last Updated: 17 August 2026

Our Approach to Advertising

At HealthDhana, the trust of our readers comes first.

HealthDhana provides health, nutrition, medicines, pharmacy, digital health and healthcare technology information for educational purposes. As HealthDhana grows, advertising, sponsorships, affiliate relationships or other commercial partnerships may help support the development and operation of the platform.

Our fundamental principle is simple:

Commercial relationships must not compromise the accuracy, independence or integrity of HealthDhana’s editorial content.

This Advertising Policy explains how HealthDhana distinguishes advertising and other commercial content from independent editorial information.

1. Editorial Independence

HealthDhana maintains a distinction between editorial decisions and commercial relationships.

Advertisers, sponsors and commercial partners should not determine:

  • Which health topics we cover
  • The conclusions of our editorial content
  • How we describe medical evidence
  • How we describe the benefits or risks of medicines, treatments, supplements or technologies
  • Our editorial recommendations
  • Whether an identified factual error is corrected

Editorial content should be developed according to the principles described in our Editorial Policy, regardless of commercial considerations.

2. Identification of Advertising

Where HealthDhana displays advertising, we aim to distinguish advertisements clearly from editorial content.

Commercial material may be labelled using terms such as:

  • Advertisement
  • Sponsored
  • Sponsored Content
  • Paid Partnership
  • Affiliate Link

or another clear description appropriate to the commercial relationship.

We aim to avoid presenting paid promotional material in a way that could reasonably cause readers to believe it is independent editorial content.

3. Display Advertising

HealthDhana may use third-party advertising networks or direct advertising arrangements to display advertisements on the Website.

Where advertising is displayed, the presence of an advertisement does not mean that HealthDhana:

  • Recommends the advertised product
  • Endorses the advertiser
  • Guarantees the advertiser’s claims
  • Has independently verified every statement contained in the advertisement

Advertising networks may use cookies or similar technologies subject to applicable privacy and cookie requirements.

Further information about data processing associated with advertising will be provided through our Privacy Policy and, where applicable, Cookie Policy.

4. Healthcare Advertising

Because HealthDhana operates in the health-information space, we recognise that healthcare advertising requires particular care.

HealthDhana aims not to knowingly accept or directly publish advertising that:

  • Makes demonstrably false or misleading health claims
  • Promotes unsafe medical practices
  • Claims that a product can diagnose, prevent, treat or cure a disease without appropriate evidence or authorisation
  • Encourages people to disregard appropriate professional medical advice
  • Misrepresents scientific or clinical evidence
  • Uses deceptive health claims
  • Exploits serious health conditions through misleading promises
  • Misrepresents the regulatory status of a healthcare product

We reserve the right to reject, restrict or remove advertising that we consider inappropriate for HealthDhana or inconsistent with our standards.

5. Medicines and Pharmaceutical Advertising

Advertising relating to medicines, pharmaceutical products or healthcare services must comply with applicable laws, regulations and advertising requirements.

HealthDhana does not permit an advertiser to influence independent editorial coverage of its medicine, product or organisation.

For example, purchasing advertising space does not entitle an advertiser to:

  • Favourable editorial coverage
  • Removal of legitimate criticism
  • Modification of medical evidence
  • Preferential treatment in independent articles
  • Suppression of relevant safety information

Editorial and advertising decisions remain separate.

6. Vitamins and Supplements

HealthDhana may publish educational content about vitamins, minerals and supplements.

Any future advertising or commercial partnerships involving supplements should be clearly distinguished from independent editorial information.

HealthDhana aims not to knowingly publish advertising that presents supplements as proven cures or treatments for diseases where such claims are unsupported or unlawful.

Readers should not interpret the presence of a supplement advertisement as a medical recommendation from HealthDhana.

7. Sponsored Content

HealthDhana may occasionally work with organisations to produce sponsored content.

Sponsored content should be clearly identified.

Sponsorship does not give a commercial partner unrestricted control over HealthDhana’s editorial standards.

Where sponsored material contains health or medical claims, we expect those claims to meet appropriate standards of accuracy and evidence.

HealthDhana reserves the right to decline sponsorship opportunities that conflict with our editorial principles.

8. Affiliate Links

HealthDhana may use affiliate links in the future.

An affiliate link means HealthDhana may receive a commission if a reader follows a link and subsequently makes a qualifying purchase or completes another qualifying action.

Where affiliate relationships exist, we aim to disclose them clearly.

The existence of an affiliate relationship should not determine the conclusions of our independent editorial content.

Where appropriate, readers may see a disclosure such as:

Affiliate Disclosure: HealthDhana may receive a commission from qualifying purchases made through certain links on this page. This does not affect the price you pay or our editorial standards.

9. Product Reviews and Recommendations

HealthDhana may review or discuss health technologies, applications, digital health products or other relevant products and services.

Where we receive:

  • Payment
  • Free products
  • Free access
  • Sponsorship
  • Affiliate commissions
  • Other material benefits

that relationship should be disclosed where relevant.

Commercial relationships should not be presented as independent recommendations.

Our goal is to explain relevant benefits, limitations and considerations fairly.

10. Digital Health and Health Technology Advertising

HealthDhana may carry advertising or sponsorship relating to:

  • Digital health platforms
  • Health applications
  • Healthcare software
  • Medical technology
  • Telehealth services
  • Healthcare education
  • Health technology products
  • Other healthcare-related services

The presence of such advertising does not constitute clinical validation or regulatory approval by HealthDhana.

Advertisers remain responsible for ensuring that their claims comply with applicable laws and regulations.

11. Artificial Intelligence Products

HealthDhana may discuss or advertise AI-enabled healthcare technologies as this field develops.

We aim not to knowingly allow advertisements to misleadingly portray an AI system as:

  • A replacement for qualified healthcare professionals
  • Clinically validated when it is not
  • Approved by a regulator when it is not
  • Capable of guaranteed diagnosis or treatment when such claims are unsupported

Advertising involving healthcare AI should appropriately represent the product’s intended purpose and limitations.

12. Advertiser Influence

Payment for advertising does not provide an advertiser with control over independent HealthDhana editorial content.

Advertisers should not be permitted to:

  • Approve independent HealthDhana articles
  • Require favourable editorial conclusions
  • Prevent legitimate criticism
  • Alter HealthDhana’s independent interpretation of evidence
  • Prevent corrections to inaccurate content

Where a commercial relationship creates a relevant potential conflict of interest, HealthDhana aims to disclose that relationship appropriately.

13. Advertising Placement

Where reasonably possible, advertising should be presented in a way that does not materially interfere with a reader’s ability to understand HealthDhana’s editorial content.

We aim to avoid advertising practices that are:

  • Intentionally deceptive
  • Designed to imitate editorial navigation
  • Excessively disruptive
  • Misleading about their commercial nature

Advertisements should not be deliberately designed to make users believe they are part of independent HealthDhana editorial content.

14. Advertising and Children

Where HealthDhana content may be accessible to younger audiences, we aim to consider applicable requirements relating to advertising directed at children and young people.

We do not intentionally design health advertising to exploit the vulnerability or inexperience of children.

15. Advertiser Privacy and Tracking Technologies

Third-party advertising providers may use cookies, pixels or similar technologies for purposes such as:

  • Advertising delivery
  • Frequency measurement
  • Performance measurement
  • Fraud prevention
  • Audience measurement
  • Personalisation, where permitted

Where required, appropriate consent mechanisms should be used.

Please refer to the HealthDhana Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy for information about how personal information and cookies are handled.

16. Advertising Complaints

If you believe an advertisement displayed on HealthDhana is:

  • Misleading
  • Inappropriate
  • Potentially harmful
  • Incorrectly labelled
  • Inconsistent with this Advertising Policy

you may contact us.

  • The page on which the advertisement appeared
  • The advertiser or product name

  • The reason for your concern
  • A screenshot, where available

We will consider credible concerns and may take appropriate action where reasonably possible.

17. Right to Refuse or Remove Advertising

HealthDhana reserves the right to decline, restrict or remove advertising or sponsored content that we consider:

  • Misleading
  • Harmful
  • Inappropriate
  • Unlawful
  • Inconsistent with our editorial principles
  • Potentially damaging to reader trust

Acceptance of advertising on one occasion does not create an obligation to accept similar advertising in the future.

18. Changes to This Advertising Policy

HealthDhana is an evolving health and digital health platform.

Our advertising practices may change as the platform grows.

We may update this Advertising Policy to reflect:

  • New advertising arrangements
  • Sponsorships
  • Affiliate programmes
  • New HealthDhana services
  • Changes in technology
  • Changes in applicable laws, regulations or industry standards

When material changes are made, we will update the Last Updated date on this page.

Our Advertising Commitment

HealthDhana believes that a sustainable health-information platform can have commercial relationships without compromising editorial integrity.

Our commitment is to keep commercial interests appropriately separate from independent health information and to make important commercial relationships transparent to our readers.

Trust comes before advertising.
