Legal information
The HON Foundation respects the HONcode charter that it developed for health and
medical websites.
The HONcode was created as a response to the lack of a guarantee for the quality of information found online. HON developed a Code of conduct (HONcode) based on eight essential ethical, quality and accessibility principles. From discussions with webmasters and editors of web sites, it was seen that such a code of conduct was required and sought after by them, thus enabling them to provide quality information by following a set of basic rules.
For more information on our Code of conduct - the and how HON conforms to this code, please see below:
