Authorship
Every published story identifies its author. Contributor submissions receive a named byline only after editorial review and approval.
CHA Health trust standard
Editorial standards &
sources policy.
How The Capital Health Awards Academy builds trustworthy, useful health journalism for readers in Nigeria, Africa and beyond.
Source hierarchy
We prioritise primary material from WHO, WHO Africa, Africa CDC, Nigerian public-health institutions, universities, teaching hospitals, peer-reviewed journals and other directly accountable bodies.
Evidence and interpretation
Reporting distinguishes verified facts, cited research, editorial explanation and opinion. Uncertainty and important limitations should be stated rather than edited away.
Dates and updates
Articles display a publication date and time, an updated date where applicable, reading time and a visible sources record.
Corrections
Material errors are corrected promptly. Substantive changes should be reflected in the updated date and, when necessary, an editor’s note.
Conflicts and independence
Writers and contributors should disclose relevant financial, institutional or personal interests. Recognition, partnership or event participation does not guarantee editorial coverage.
Research architecture
Original resources designed to be worth citing.
The Academy is building a framework for future research and interview-led publications. These titles are development directions, not published reports, and no statistics or rankings are implied until a documented methodology and evidence base are complete.
