At WellCareBase, images are used to make health information easier to understand, more engaging, and more useful for our readers. This policy explains how images may be selected, used, edited, and presented across wellcarebase.com.
Our website covers topics including Body Basics, Conditions Hub, Food & Fitness, Life Stages, Mind Matters, and Treatment Options. Images used within these sections are chosen to support the written content and improve the overall reading experience.
How We Use Images
Images on WellCareBase may include photographs, illustrations, diagrams, icons, charts, or other visual materials. They may be used to:
- Explain health or wellness topics more clearly
- Support articles about symptoms, conditions, treatments, food, fitness, and lifestyle
- Provide visual examples or general educational context
- Improve the layout and readability of our pages
Images are intended to complement the article and should not be treated as a medical diagnosis or as a substitute for professional medical advice.
Image Sources and Rights
We aim to use images that we have permission to publish. These may include licensed images, royalty-free resources, original graphics, properly attributed materials, or visuals made available for lawful reuse.
Where required, appropriate credit or attribution may be provided.
We do not intentionally use copyrighted images without permission. If you believe that an image on WellCareBase infringes your copyright or other rights, please contact us so we can review the matter.
Medical and Illustrative Images
Some health-related images may be illustrative rather than exact representations of a particular condition, treatment, symptom, or medical outcome.
Stock photographs may also feature models and should not be interpreted as showing a person who has the condition discussed in the accompanying article.
Images involving medical or sensitive subjects are selected with care. We try to avoid unnecessarily graphic, misleading, or distressing visuals unless they are genuinely useful for educational purposes.
Image Editing
Images may occasionally be resized, cropped, enhanced, labeled, or otherwise edited to improve clarity, accessibility, or page presentation. We do not intentionally alter medical images in a way that creates a false or misleading impression.
Review and Corrections
Our articles and supporting visuals are reviewed before publication. However, if you notice an image that appears inaccurate, inappropriate, incorrectly credited, or potentially infringing, we encourage you to let us know.
For questions or concerns about any image used on WellCareBase, please contact us through our Contact Us page:
We will review legitimate concerns and make corrections or remove images when appropriate.
