Cherthala has a Government Taluk Headquarters Hospital and private hospitals in the town and along NH 66, with clinics, labs and dental centres spread along the highway and west towards Arthunkal. Because Kochi's large hospitals are under an hour away, Cherthala providers mostly compete for everyday outpatient, maternity, dental and emergency care. Patients include coir and fishing families, seafood-processing workers from the Aroor and Chandiroor belt, staff at Infopark Cherthala in Pallippuram and commuters who work in Kochi.

We run healthcare PR by specialty, because multispecialty hospitals and ayurveda hospitals in Cherthala are searched for in different ways:

• Multispecialty hospital marketing in CherthalaThe feast at St Andrew's Basilica in Arthunkal each January draws large crowds from across the state, including pilgrims returning from Sabarimala, so hospitals with casualty services nearby should keep hours, directions and emergency numbers current through the festival weeks.
• Ayurveda hospital marketing in CherthalaBeach resorts at nearby Mararikulam run ayurveda programmes for overseas and domestic guests, while Cherthala's own families use ayurveda for routine care, so a centre should decide which group it is speaking to before it advertises, and keep its claims free of the cure promises the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act restricts.
• Physiotherapy clinic marketing in CherthalaSeafood processing in the Aroor and Chandiroor belt involves long hours of repetitive hand work, and desk staff at Infopark Cherthala add another group with neck and back complaints, so physiotherapy clinics that offer slots outside shift and office hours can serve both.
• Maternity hospital marketing in CherthalaYoung families who commute to Kochi often weigh delivering there against delivering close to home, so a Cherthala maternity hospital needs to make its obstetricians, newborn care and rooms easy to check online.

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 Cherthala?

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.
