Medical Review Board

Health and medical content on RaphaAtlas is read by an MBBS-qualified physician before it is published. This page names the physicians who do that work, explains precisely what their review covers, and — just as importantly — sets out what it does not cover, so you can judge how much weight to give the label.

The reviewers

Dr. Muhammad Awais Rabbani, MBBS

Medical reviewer. Reviews clinical, nutrition, and performance content for accuracy and safety, and verifies the formulas implemented in our calculators against their original published sources.

Dr. Ahmed Humayon, MBBS

Medical reviewer. Reviews clinical and general health content for accuracy and safety.

What physician review actually means here

The phrase “medically reviewed” is used loosely across the web, sometimes to mean little more than that a clinician’s name was added to a page. We would rather tell you exactly what happens, so the label means something specific when you see it on our content.

A reviewer reads the page in full before publication and checks four things:

1. That the claims match current medical understanding. Statements are checked against current guidance and the underlying literature, not against what other health websites happen to say.
2. That certainty is not overstated. This is the most common failure in health writing. A reviewer flags anywhere the text asserts more confidence than the evidence carries — where an association has been written as a cause, where one small trial has been described as settled, or where a contested question has been presented as resolved.
3. That risks, limits and contraindications are present where a reader would need them, and positioned where they will actually be read rather than buried at the foot of the page.
4. That the page routes to care rather than replacing it. Content that could lead someone to self-manage a condition that needs a clinician, or to delay seeking help, is sent back regardless of whether its individual statements are technically accurate.

Where a reviewer disagrees with a claim, the claim is changed, removed, or qualified before publication. We do not publish over a reviewer’s objection and add a disclaimer instead.

What gets reviewed, and what does not

Physician review applies to health and medical content: our topic hubs on health, nutrition, fitness and lifestyle, and the clinical reasoning and interpretation guidance attached to each calculator.

It does not apply to pages with no clinical content — the privacy policy, contact page, and similar administrative pages carry no medical claims and are not sent for review. We mention this because a “reviewed by” badge applied indiscriminately across every page of a site is a signal that the badge is decorative. Ours is not applied where it would be meaningless.

Review dates and re-review

Reviewed pages carry the reviewing physician’s name and the date of review. That date tells you when a clinician last read the page — it is not a claim that the page has been re-verified continuously since.

Content returns for re-review when national or specialty guidance changes, when significant new evidence is published on the topic, when a reader reports an error that turns out to be substantive, or when the page is materially rewritten. Minor edits such as typography or formatting do not trigger a new review, and we do not refresh review dates to make pages look more current than they are.

Independence

Reviewers assess clinical accuracy and nothing else. No advertiser, affiliate partner, supplement brand, device manufacturer or other commercial party reviews our content before publication, influences what we cover, or can obtain a favourable mention by paying for it. Our reviewers are not asked to approve commercial arrangements and have no role in them.

Reporting an error

If you believe something on this site is clinically wrong, we want to know, and we would rather hear it from you than not. Email the page URL and a description of the problem to dr.awais@growthpartnersgloballlc.com. We aim to acknowledge reports within five working days. Anything that changes the meaning of the content or could affect a reader’s decision is corrected on the page and noted there; minor fixes are made without a note.
