Where each image comes from
The decision differs by subject, and the reasoning is not always obvious — so it is written down rather than left to whoever edits the page next.
Wikimedia Commons, Openverse fallback
Public monuments photographed by identifiable people under a free licence. Attribution is a condition of CC-BY and CC-BY-SA, so it is generated from the file metadata rather than typed.
Openverse (CC0, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA only)
Illustrative context — a stethoscope, a laboratory, an airport. It depicts the subject generally and claims nothing about any particular hospital.
Generated illustration
A photograph of a real person beside a named doctor asserts that this IS that doctor. An illustration asserts nothing. It also removes any model release requirement and cannot be mistaken for a clinical claim. Replaced with a real portrait only when the doctor supplies one with written consent.
Generated gradient panel
A generic ward photo beside a named hospital implies it is that hospital's ward. Stays illustrative until the hospital supplies its own photography.
Drawn for this site
The Ajanta chaitya arch, the Kailasa profile at Verul, a jali screen, a lotus and the Lonar crater. Original vector work, so it scales to any screen and can never 404.
