App summary

With 70,000+ medical articles in English, WikiMed is the largest and most comprehensive collection of health-related articles available in English. It includes content on diseases, medications, anatomy, and sanitation from the famous Wikipedia free encyclopedia.

As an encyclopedic medical dictionary, WikiMed is perfect for practicing physicians, as well as medicine and other healthcare students.

If you are in the developing world without access to the Internet or on a boat in the middle of nowhere you can now access one of the foremost and up-to-date medical dictionaries, for free.

Beware: the app needs almost 2 GB of storage, make sure you have enough space and a solid WiFi connection for download! If you have limited storage, then try Wikimed Mini, the light version of WikiMed!

This app is very helpful, it's like an offline search engine for medicine and related fields, so helpful, but if suggestions could be put below the search space when one is typing a word to search, this would make things easier

Very vast, helpful and informative encyclopedia for Medical students. You won't have to google a question once you have it. I have installed it years ago and it's still fulfilling my medical queries.
