The UK's NHS website is an excellent, reputable source of health information. It may not be the most attractive looking site, but it has a goldmine of info. There's information on ailments and conditions, treatments and general health advice.

Importantly, the information is written and vetted by qualified medical professionals.

The NHS also provides great summaries of health-related stories that are (often poorly) reported in the news.

I second that site. I've reached the point where I no longer bother to read about health news in other general news media outlets.

I'm posting this from Singapore, and I sorely wish the local Government Ministry of Health runs something similar.
