This page provides information on how to create and edit Doctor's information, Clinic, Organisations and Hospitals on Healthpages.wiki.
Healthpages.wiki is an open, collaborative platform based on the same MediaWiki [1] software that drives the world's largest online reference, Wikipedia [2]. While traditional wikis contain only text which computers can neither understand nor evaluate, Healthpages.wiki uses semantic annotations that enables wikis to make their knowledge computer-processable and allow wiki to function as a collaborative database.

The text you use for page names will be the end of the URL for that page, so make sure that the text is typeable ASCII (A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and spaces), has no awkward symbols, ideally no accents, and uses the spacing and capitalization that the project uses.
