At Health24 we have created South Africa’s premier consumer health and wellness information portal by providing credible, useful content and sense of community and fun.

The members of Health24’s team of in-house writers and content editors – click here to “meet” them– have broad-ranging qualifications and experience in health informatics and communication, fitness and wellness, psychotherapy, dieting, food and food supplements and medical illustration.

A specialist panel of medical and health professionals complements the in-house team. Among the more than 50 South African health and lifestyle experts actively engaged with Health24’s community, are Cyberdoc (Dr Anrich Burger), Cybershrink (Prof Michael Simpson) and Dietdoc (Dr Ingrid van Heerden) who serve as a standing committee and general sounding board. Our experts include specialists in virology, cardiology, neurology, dermatology, gynaecology, psychiatry, ophthalmology, and sports science, to name a few.

Content is also sourced from educational, non-governmental or private commercial sources, such as international news feeds, which guarantee Health24 is on top of world research and important developments in health thinking.

All Health24’s content, information and services are developed and published independently of any commercial or other interests. Text and interactive tools are reviewed by appropriate healthcare professionals before publication.
