Welcome to the Offline Medical Encyclopedia by Wikipedia. This is a complete collection of all health care, anatomy, and medication related topics from Wikipedia in an offline format. Like Wikipedia all content is open access, meaning that it is free to download, reuse, share, and build upon.
We are working to develop these apps in a number of languages. There are ongoing efforts to increase access to medical information in all languages in collaboration with Translators Without Borders among others. If you like this app and are interested in helping us make it better please join Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine or contact us directly.
Please keep in mind that this is volunteer generated content. While we try our best to make it as accurate as possible it is not perfect. Thus we request that you use common sense.
