Our Founder
MedExplained101 is a non-profit health education platform founded by a physician and public health specialist with more than 27 years of experience in clinical care and internationally working with various national Ministries of Health, the World Health Organization (WHO), US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and The Global Fund to fight HIV, TB and Malaria (The Global Fund). We translate complex medical and public health science into clear, accurate, jargon-free content — for everyone, everywhere.
Health misinformation kills. Confusing medical language creates barriers. Jargon excludes the people who need information most. MedExplained101 exists to close that gap — with content that is accurate, accessible, and free.
While our content is global, we also give particular focus to Sub-Saharan Africa, where the disease burden is highest and the gap between clinical knowledge and public understanding is widest. Our content centres African data, African innovation, and African health systems — not as a special case, but as a core part of global health.
Why We Exist
OUR EDITORIAL STANDARD
Every piece of content we publish is evidence-based, peer-reviewed, and fact-checked against global primary sources for health information such as— WHO, CDC, Africa CDC, and leading peer-reviewed scientific journals including The Lancet, NEJM, JAMA and others. We cite every statistic. We never publish AI-generated data without verification against original sources.
We write at an 8th–10th grade reading level — not because we underestimate our audience, but because we believe maximum clarity is the highest form of sophistication. The best science communicators in the world make complex ideas simple. That is the standard we hold ourselves to.
Our content is produced under a formal Editorial Policy, reviewed and updated regularly. No advertiser influences what we publish. Ever.
