Medical Wikipedia is a mobile app which provides offline access to health information on Wikipedia. It is an instance of the Wikipedia arm of Kiwix.

On June 10th, 2015 Wiki Project Med Foundation and Wikimedia Switzerland launched an android app that contains all of the English Wikipedia's health care content: including medical, anatomy, medication, and sanitation related articles as tagged by the respective WikiProjects. Since then, further language versions have followed. All versions of the app are available for download on Google Play.

Other operating systems click here

  • For windows [1]

Moving to SD card

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.

The app is open source which means that you can view its source code and build derivatives off it.

You can do so by:

  1. first setting up Kiwix as described here
  2. downloading the .zim file of the language you'd like to have from here (for English that's wikipedia_en_medicine_2016-11.zim as an example)
  3. following the instructions under "Steps to build a Custom App" in the readme

We are dedicated towards building and maintaining this app for free — free as in freedom, not free to be advertised to. With us you are not the product, and WPMEDF, WMCH and Kiwix are all non-profit organizations. The code is fully open source and you can read the WikiProject Med Foundation Mission Statement here: link: We currently do not accept donations...
