We introduce MedGraphRAG, a novel graph-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework designed to enhance LLMs in generating evidence-based medical responses, improving safety and reliability with private medical data. We introduce Triple Graph Construction and U-Retrieval to enhance GraphRAG, enabling holistic insights and evidence-based response generation for medical applications. Specifically, we connect user documents to credible medical sources and integrate Top-down Precise Retrieval with Bottom-up Response Refinement for balanced context awareness and precise indexing. Validated on 9 medical Q&A benchmarks, 2 health fact-checking datasets, and a long-form generation test set, MedGraphRAG outperforms state-of-the-art models while ensuring credible sourcing. Our code is publicly available.
