Suwa News is a health-news publication that presents important new developments in medicine and health science in a way ordinary readers can understand.
Our aim is not to simplify complex medical research or scientific discoveries at the cost of losing their meaning, but to preserve scientific accuracy while explaining them clearly for the general reader.
Suwa News is built around one core question:
What is new in medicine, why does it matter, and how strong is the evidence behind it?
Suwa News's main focus is on significant new developments in medicine and health science.
These may include:
Our goal is not to republish every health story found online.
We select stories based on their novelty, scientific significance, strength of evidence, and value to readers.
Suwa News's core purpose is not to re-teach health facts that are already well known.
Generic dietary advice, everyday lifestyle tips, or simple evergreen health education are not our primary news focus.
Such topics may become a Suwa News story only when they connect directly with a significant new development in medicine.
Suwa News is not written only for doctors or scientists.
Our primary readers are ordinary members of the public without medical training.
So when technical terms are necessary, we try to explain them in plain language.
Reading a story should, at minimum, help a reader understand:
Wherever possible, Suwa News tries to use original and trustworthy sources.
These may include peer-reviewed scientific journals, clinical trial registries, WHO, FDA, EMA, CDC, recognised universities, research institutions, and major medical conferences.
We try not to present a research finding as stronger than its actual level of evidence.
It is our policy to present the difference between laboratory research, animal research, early human trials, and large randomized clinical trials in a way readers can understand.
Health news presented inaccurately can cause unnecessary fear, false hope, or wrongly influence medical decisions.
So we avoid using phrases with meanings such as “miracle cure”, “wonder drug”, or “cure found” without sufficient evidence.
If a study has limitations, we treat that as important information too.
Suwa News is not a publication that only reports international medical news.
We aim to give special attention to important medical research conducted by researchers in Sri Lanka, and to international health developments directly relevant to people in Sri Lanka.
However, a Sri Lankan connection alone is not enough to select a story — it must also be medically or publicly significant.
Images used for new Suwa News stories should be relevant to that story and not misleading.
We may use official photographs, research images, medical illustrations, or editorial illustrations created where necessary.
It is not our policy to present a fictional image as though it were a genuine photograph of a real medical device or event.
Suwa News is a health-news publication associated with Sineth Hospitals.
This relationship is shown clearly to readers.
But Suwa News's purpose is not to be a commercial website promoting Sineth Hospitals's services.
Its primary purpose is to give the public trustworthy, understandable news about important new developments in medicine and health science.
Further detail on how we select stories, our sources, evidence standards, corrections, and use of images is set out in our Editorial Policy.
Because medical science is constantly evolving, a published story may later be updated with important new information.
It is our policy to correct a significant factual error once identified.
Important corrections or updates that affect meaning are marked in a way visible to the reader.
Content on Suwa News is for general information only.
Do not treat a story about new research or a treatment as personal medical advice.
Do not start, stop, or change a treatment based on a Suwa News article.
Personal medical decisions should be made with a qualified healthcare professional.
New developments in medicine — explained clearly for the public.
