Launched over a decade ago, Health24 has always been a trusted source of health information and is the “go-to” portal for nearly a million monthly unique browsers (January 2013 international Effective Measure stats).  This month, it received a re-launch facelift to provide additional editorial tools, multimedia and a focus on interactive elements for users.

The mammoth task of mining the over 300,000 Q&A’s answered by medical experts (600,000 answered by other readers), collapsing the content sub-sections into a simpler navigation bar, enhancing the Expert Forums and simplifying the Condition Centres has resulted in a new site that offers much more functionality than previously offered.
