Conflicts of interest

The registry’s neutrality depends on a transparent funding model. This page documents how we operate financially and what we do not accept.

What we do not accept

  • Payment for listings. Inclusion in the registry is editorial; clinics cannot buy in.
  • Referral commissions, lead-generation fees, or affiliate revenue from clinics or facilitators.
  • Advertising from medical-tourism clinics, agencies, or facilitators.
  • Paid placement on tier rankings, search results, or facets.
  • Co-branded content with clinics or facilitators.

What we do accept

  • Subscription revenue from individual readers (when offered) and institutional subscribers (insurers, employers).
  • Grant funding from charitable foundations whose remit is patient-safety or health-information transparency, with the grant terms published.
  • Time-limited research partnerships with universities or non-profit health bodies, with conflict statements published per-page where applicable.

Per-page conflict disclosure

Where a guide or piece of analysis is funded by an external party, the funder is named at the top of that page along with the scope of the engagement. If editorial judgment was constrained in any way, that constraint is also disclosed.

Authors with relevant external relationships disclose them in their bylines at /team.

Reporting a perceived conflict

If you believe a registry entry has been influenced by an undisclosed financial relationship, raise it via /corrections. We will investigate and either correct the entry or publish a response.
