Medical tourism marketing in Aluva

• International patient pages in Arabic and English covering doctors, any accreditation you hold, the treatment journey, estimates, travel and stay
• Search campaigns aimed at treatment searches from the chosen GCC and other markets
• Facebook and Instagram campaigns for the Malayali diaspora in the Gulf, who often arrange care for parents and relatives back home
• Doctor explainer videos in English with Arabic subtitles
• Reply templates for estimates, medical report requests and visa support letters, with estimates always presented as estimates
• Monthly reporting on enquiries by country, specialty and channel, including how many enquirers shared medical reports

1. 1
   Capability review. We meet your international desk and key specialists to confirm what you can offer patients from abroad, including interpreters, visa support letters, accommodation tie-ups and teleconsultation follow-up.
2. 2
   Market plan. We choose two or three markets and specialties based on your strengths and the international enquiries you already receive, rather than advertising everywhere.
3. 3
   Build. International pages, the WhatsApp set-up and reply templates go live before any ad spend, so the first enquiries are handled well.
4. 4
   Campaigns and review. We run Arabic and English campaigns in the chosen markets and review each month which countries send serious enquiries, moving budget accordingly.

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 medical tourism marketing 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.

International pages and the WhatsApp enquiry process usually take four to eight weeks to set up properly. Serious international enquiries often take several months to turn into admissions, because families compare options, arrange visas and plan travel around work and school holidays. Medical tourism marketing is usually a monthly retainer, with ad spend in each market paid by you directly to Google and Meta. Scope depends on the number of markets, languages and specialties, how many international pages and videos are needed, and whether we support your international desk with templates and training. Any arrangement you have with medical tourism facilitators is separate from our fee, and because the NMC's October 2026 guidelines restrict commissions and per-patient payments connected with procuring patients, check facilitator contracts with your legal adviser.

From Aluva, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 15 km, 30 to 45 minutes by road. From Aluva, NH 544 to Kalamassery and then the Container Road brings you to us without going through Edappally junction. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Bank Junction, Pump Junction and Aluva Manappuram, so local pages and your Google Business Profile have to use those names.

• Medical tourism marketing: how we work

Can our hospital or clinic in Aluva attract international patients if it is not a large tertiary hospital?

Yes, if it offers something worth travelling for, such as a planned procedure, an ayurveda programme or dental work that fits a short visit, and can answer enquiries quickly in English or Arabic. Many enquiries come from Malayali families in the Gulf arranging care for parents near their home town, which can favour hospitals outside the big cities. We assess this honestly in the audit before you spend anything on campaigns.

Which visa do international patients need to come to India for treatment?

India offers medical and e-medical visas for patients, attendant visas for companions, and a separate Ayush visa for treatment under ayurveda and other Indian systems of medicine. Eligible countries, documents and rules change, so your international desk should always point patients to the official Indian visa portal or the nearest Indian mission. We write that guidance into your pages and reply templates.

Do you work with medical tourism facilitators or replace them?

We work alongside them. Facilitators bring patients from markets where you have no direct presence, while your own pages and campaigns bring direct enquiries, so we prepare facilitator materials and track the two sources separately. How you contract with facilitators is your decision, but the NMC's October 2026 advertising guidelines bar doctors from paying or receiving commissions or referral fees connected with procuring patients, so check any per-patient commission arrangement with your legal adviser.
