• 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.
2. 2
   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 Malappuram 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.

Malappuram town is the headquarters of what was Kerala's most populous district at the 2011 Census, with government and mid-sized private hospitals, clinics and labs around Kottappadi and Down Hill. The Government Medical College is in Manjeri, and Perinthalmanna and Kottakkal also have private hospitals, each within about 25 km, so the town's providers compete with all three. Many families have members working in Saudi Arabia, the UAE or elsewhere in the Gulf, and decisions about a parent's surgery or a delivery are often talked through on WhatsApp with them. Patients search in Malayalam or Manglish, and many women look specifically for a lady doctor.

We run healthcare PR by specialty, because fertility and IVF clinics and orthopaedic hospitals in Malappuram are searched for in different ways:

• Fertility and IVF clinic marketing in MalappuramWith many husbands working in the Gulf, couples in Malappuram often plan fertility treatment around a short leave, so a clinic that sets out timelines, what can be done before the husband arrives and how to consult by video is easier to choose.
• Orthopaedic hospital marketing in MalappuramFootball is played and followed intensely across Malappuram, from local sevens tournaments to league matches, so knee and ankle injuries among young players are a regular reason people look for an orthopaedic surgeon here.
• Maternity hospital marketing in MalappuramExpectant mothers in Malappuram often weigh a nearby hospital against a bigger one in Manjeri or Perinthalmanna, and the decision is usually made with family, so labour-room facilities, newborn care arrangements and the obstetricians' OP days need to be clear in Malayalam and easy to forward on WhatsApp.
• Cancer centre marketing in MalappuramMalappuram is where Kerala's volunteer-led neighbourhood palliative care networks first took root in the late 1990s, so many families know home-based palliative support, and a cancer service is expected to work alongside local palliative groups and speak about treatment gently and without promises.

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.

From Malappuram, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 160 km, roughly four hours by road. Malappuram has no railway station of its own; Tirur, on the main line, is about 25 km away. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Kottappadi, Down Hill and Up Hill, so local pages and your Google Business Profile have to use those names.

• 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 Malappuram?

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.
