• Facebook and Instagram campaigns for the Malayali diaspora in the Gulf, who often arrange care for parents and relatives back home
• 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.

Kakkanad has grown around the Civil Station into Kochi's IT suburb, with Infopark, SmartCity Kochi and the Cochin Special Economic Zone, apartment towers along the Seaport–Airport Road and older Thrikkakara neighbourhoods. Sunrise Hospital is in Kakkanad, and around it are paediatric, gynaecology, fertility, dental, dermatology, physiotherapy and mental health practices, plus labs offering home collection. The Kochi Metro's Pink Line from JLN Stadium to Infopark, with planned stations at Kakkanad Junction and Chittethukara, is under construction, with opening dates that have moved more than once, and each station will become a search landmark once it opens. Many patients are IT and services professionals and young families, often from other districts or states, who search in English with exact queries such as 'paediatrician open Sunday Kakkanad' and read negative reviews to see how clinics replied.

We run medical tourism marketing by specialty, because fertility and IVF clinics and physiotherapy clinics in Kakkanad are searched for in different ways:

• Fertility and IVF clinic marketing in KakkanadProfessional couples working in the IT parks tend to research fertility treatment online in English and need early-morning or evening consultations that fit around office hours, with information kept within ART Act and PCPNDT limits.
• Physiotherapy clinic marketing in KakkanadLong hours at a desk are normal for Kakkanad's IT and back-office workforce, and neck, back and wrist pain are common reasons to look for a physiotherapist with early-morning, evening or weekend slots near Infopark or the Civil Station.
• Diagnostic centre marketing in KakkanadLarge apartment communities and office campuses make home sample collection and workplace health check-ups a regular part of a lab's business in Kakkanad.
• Eye hospital marketing in KakkanadScreen-heavy work in the IT parks makes eye strain, dry eye and spectacle or contact lens checks a regular need, and working patients look for eye clinics that take evening or weekend appointments online.
• Paediatric clinic marketing in KakkanadYoung families in the apartment towers along the Seaport–Airport Road often live far from grandparents, so after-hours and Sunday paediatric searches are common and the clinic with accurate timings gets the call.
• Mental health clinic marketing in KakkanadMany people working in Kakkanad's IT parks have moved from other districts or states and have no family doctor nearby, so a mental health practice here is often found through private English searches, where discretion, clear fees and teleconsultation options matter.

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 Kakkanad, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 15 km, 35 to 50 minutes by road. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Civil Station, Padamughal and Infopark, 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 Kakkanad 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.
