• Coverage tracking with clippings and links, and a monthly report on what ran, where, and how accurately your messages came through

1. 1
   Story audit. We meet your management and senior doctors to find what is genuinely news, and agree what the institution will and will not comment on.

   Messages and spokespeople. We agree key messages and a spokesperson for each subject, and write crisis holding statements before they are ever needed.
3. 3
   Pitch. We write and send releases, arrange interviews and press meets, and follow up with reporters covering Aluva and with state-level desks, accepting that editors decide what runs.
4. 4
   Report. Each month we share clippings and links, how accurately your messages appeared, and the story calendar for the month ahead.

Aluva is a gateway town on the Periyar, with the northern terminus of the Kochi Metro, a major railway station and Cochin International Airport a short drive away at Nedumbassery. Rajagiri Hospital is at Chunangamvely and the government District Hospital is in the town, and around them sit family clinics, dental and eye clinics, labs, home-nursing services and pharmacies serving the town and the surrounding panchayats. Many care decisions are made by sons and daughters working in the Gulf or other states, who research a parent's treatment from abroad and expect WhatsApp contact and reports sent to them, while elderly residents rely on a phone call or a relative checking Google.

We run healthcare PR by specialty, because dental clinics and fertility and IVF clinics in Aluva are searched for in different ways:

• Dental clinic marketing in AluvaNRI visitors flying in through Cochin airport often try to complete dental work during a short trip home, so an Aluva clinic that explains how many visits a treatment needs and takes enquiries from abroad is easier to choose.
• Fertility and IVF clinic marketing in AluvaCouples with one partner working in the Gulf often have only a few weeks of leave for fertility treatment, and Aluva's closeness to Cochin airport makes it a practical base, so clinics here should set out realistic timelines and what can be done by video before arrival.
• Physiotherapy clinic marketing in AluvaMany older residents in and around Aluva live alone or with a spouse while their children work abroad, so home physiotherapy after a fall, stroke or joint surgery is a common need, and families expect visit schedules and progress updates on WhatsApp.
• Orthopaedic hospital marketing in AluvaKnee and hip replacements for older parents in Aluva are often researched by sons and daughters in the Gulf, who want the surgeon's details, recovery timelines and indicative costs in writing before they fly into Cochin airport, a short drive away.

A launch or press meet can bring coverage within days, but becoming the place reporters call for expert comment usually takes several months of reliable, well-timed pitching. Crisis readiness, meaning the written plan and holding statements, is normally completed in the first month. Ongoing media relations is usually a monthly retainer, while a launch, a press meet or a single campaign can be quoted as a project. Scope depends on the number of stories and spokespeople, the languages involved and how much crisis support is included. Paid placements and advertorials, if you want them, are bought separately and always labelled as paid. See how our pricing works.

• Healthcare PR: how we work

Can you guarantee our story will appear in the newspaper?

No. Editors decide what they publish, and an agency that promises placements is usually selling paid space. What we can do is bring reporters stories that are useful, accurate and on time, which makes coverage far more likely, and tell you honestly when an idea is not news.

Is there anything newsworthy about our hospital or clinic if we are not one of the big names in Aluva?

Often more than you expect: a procedure verifiably done for the first time in the district, a screening camp in an area with poor access to care, a doctor's practical advice during a fever outbreak, or a programme for elderly patients living alone while their children work abroad. Local pages of Malayalam newspapers look for exactly these stories. We help you separate real news from promotion that reporters will ignore. Any 'first' or 'only' claim has to be checkable, because the NMC's October 2026 guidelines treat promotional news stories as advertising and restrict unverifiable superiority claims.

Can we hire you only for crisis communication?

Yes. A crisis-only engagement usually covers a written plan, holding statements for likely scenarios, spokesperson training and an agreed way to reach us when something happens. It works best when set up before an incident, because the first statement matters most and is hardest to write under pressure.
