Swasthya Plus

Health information people can find and use.

Swasthya Plus began as an Odia health website in 2019. Today, we create videos with named Health Experts across Indian languages. The library at www.swasthya.plus helps people find those explanations by topic and language, so they can understand health questions and prepare for conversations about care.

Explore health information

A library built around people's health questions.

A health question may begin with a symptom, a topic or the name of a Health Expert. On www.swasthya.plus, people can search and browse videos in the language that works for them.

Health topic pages bring a plain-language overview, its main reference source and related videos together. The information is educational: a starting point for understanding a question and preparing to speak with a qualified professional.

How we check, explain and correct.

Named Health Experts

Videos name the Health Expert speaking. We research their public profiles, but appearing in a video does not independently verify every credential.

Sources people can inspect

Every health topic page names and links its main reference source, alongside a plain-language overview and related videos.

Clear educational limits

Videos can help people prepare for conversations about care. They do not provide personal advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Review and corrections

We review topic overviews against their sources, flag older videos for re-review and offer a way to request corrections.

Read the editorial standards

How we sustain the work.

Swasthya Plus is a for-profit social enterprise. Advertising on our video channels and mission-aligned work with organisations help keep health information freely available. Commercial arrangements are kept separate from editorial decisions.

Research partnerships

We contribute multilingual health communication expertise to research and help make findings clear to different audiences.
