Social media has become a powerful tool for people searching for information. But that same ease of creating content and making it available to the public has become a double-edged sword when it comes to the reliability of what we’re watching.<\/p>\n

Today, many users look up information about conditions and symptoms before going to a medical appointment. With this in mind, YouTube, the world’s second-largest search engine, launched its YouTube Health service in Mexico on April 20, an initiative already available in the United States and Germany and now expanding into Latin America.<\/p>\n

Through YouTube Health, clips will feature trusted, certified sources, ensuring people watch videos backed by solid technical and scientific credibility.<\/p>\n

YouTube Health Mexico as Support for Clinical EducationYouTube Health in Mexico has selected healthcare partners, including ABC Medical Center, that produce verified, high-quality content in support of this goal.<\/p>\n

Through this partnership, ABC Medical Center will provide health information to the general public, helping people become better-informed patients when making decisions about their health, by learning more about diseases, their symptoms, and their treatments. All of this will be explained clearly and accessibly from a medical standpoint, ensuring the information supports decision-making before, during, and after a medical visit.<\/p>\n

Now, content uploaded by ABC Medical Center on its YouTube channel, along with that of other participants in this initiative, will appear in an information carousel labeled “From health-focused sources.” Once a video starts playing, it will display the caption “From an accredited health service provider.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To identify health-focused content sources, YouTube Health uses a set of principles and definitions developed by a panel of U.S. experts convened by the National Academy of Medicine and later reviewed by the American Public Health Association. The World Health Organization’s work is also used as a reference.<\/p>\n

This partnership complements ABC Medical Center’s broader commitments to society and aims to lead the transformation of healthcare in Mexico.<\/p>\n
