Medical Review Policy

This Medical Review Policy describes how NaijaParenting handles pregnancy, child-health, nutrition and mental-health information.

Our review standard

Health content should rely on current, credible sources such as recognised health authorities, professional clinical bodies, peer-reviewed research and qualified practitioners. Where evidence is limited or differs by country, we say so.

When expert review is required

Content involving diagnosis, treatment, medication, pregnancy complications, infant feeding, vaccination, mental-health crises or other material safety risks may be reviewed by an appropriately qualified professional. A reviewer checks clinical accuracy, balance, red-flag advice and whether claims match the cited evidence. Review does not create a clinician–patient relationship.

Country and context matter

Healthcare access, approved medicines, vaccination schedules and emergency numbers vary. Parents in Nigeria and Nigerians abroad should follow current guidance from their local health authorities and personal care team.

Urgent situations

For severe symptoms, breathing difficulty, loss of consciousness, uncontrolled bleeding, suspected poisoning, risk of self-harm or another emergency, contact local emergency services or seek urgent in-person care immediately. Do not wait for a website response.

Updates and corrections

We update health content when authoritative guidance materially changes. Readers and professionals may report concerns through our Contact page. Substantive errors are corrected promptly.

Products and commercial content

A product review, advertisement or affiliate link is not medical endorsement. Parents should check age suitability, recalls, warnings and professional advice before using a health-related or child-safety product.
