What this means for visitors

This page explains what happens after you report an error, so you can see how concerns are checked, dated and corrected. To report an issue, identify the page, exact statement, why it may be wrong or unsafe, and a reliable source if available.

How reports are assessed

Each report is logged against a specific URL and statement. The first check asks whether following the content could delay urgent care, cause an unsafe procedure, misstate a professional role, expose personal data or materially mislead a purchase. Those issues are prioritised over style or preference.

The editor compares the report with the cited source, current Malaysian context and the page’s intended scope. Clinical issues return to the assigned reviewer; legal or regulatory interpretations require separate qualified review. The reporter’s identity does not determine the outcome, the available evidence does.

  • Exact URL and statement
  • Potential harm and reach
  • Source and jurisdiction
  • Assigned review owner

What readers will see after a change

A material correction changes the page’s updated date and, where clinical meaning changed, requires a new clinical review date before the reviewed status is shown. A small grammar, formatting or broken-link repair can be recorded internally without presenting it as fresh medical review.

When a reliable answer is not yet available, the disputed statement may be labelled unconfirmed, narrowed or removed. Pages depending on expired provider supply, unverified prices or obsolete rules can be withdrawn from publication until adequate evidence returns.

  • Updated date for material changes
  • New review when clinical meaning changes
  • Unconfirmed label where appropriate
  • Withdrawal when evidence fails

Provider and reviewer corrections

A provider can request correction of identity, service, price or availability, but must supply documentation suitable for the fact. A claim is not restored merely because it is commercially important. The profile should retain the date and scope of the new check.

Reviewers may flag a page proactively. Conflicts or commercial relationships relevant to a review must be disclosed. A correction does not erase the independent boundary: neither reviewer is presented as speaking for an employer, regulator or the Ministry of Health.

  • Document the disputed fact
  • Check evidence independently
  • Disclose relevant conflicts
  • Do not imply official representation
