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.

The capital's Government Medical College campus also holds the Regional Cancer Centre, the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology and SAT Hospital for women and children. Around this public core sit large private multispecialty hospitals, dental and fertility clinics around Pattom, Kesavadasapuram and the NH 66 bypass, and a ring of ayurveda centres towards Kovalam and Varkala that serve foreign visitors. Patients range from state government employees and Technopark staff at Kazhakoottam to families who cross from Kanyakumari district in Tamil Nadu for cancer, heart and kidney care. Many search in English for a named doctor or a specific procedure, and medical-tourism visitors arrive through Thiruvananthapuram International Airport.

We run healthcare PR by specialty, because ayurveda hospitals and physiotherapy clinics in Thiruvananthapuram are searched for in different ways:

• Ayurveda hospital marketing in ThiruvananthapuramTwo markets sit side by side here: overseas and domestic guests who book coastal ayurveda stays around Kovalam and Varkala weeks ahead, often after reading travel reviews, and city families who want an ayurveda physician near home. Each needs its own pages, language and booking route.
• Physiotherapy clinic marketing in ThiruvananthapuramTechnopark at Kazhakoottam and the capital's many government offices keep a large workforce at desks all day, and neck, back and wrist complaints are a common result. Early-morning and evening physiotherapy slots near the IT corridor and the office districts are worth promoting.
• Eye hospital marketing in ThiruvananthapuramLong screen hours at Technopark and in government offices bring regular demand for eye tests, spectacles and dry-eye advice from people who can only come before or after work. Online booking and clear evening timings suit this group.
• Cardiology centre marketing in ThiruvananthapuramSree Chitra Tirunal Institute and the Medical College's cardiology services are public options in the city, so a private cardiology centre is compared with them on visible specifics: named cardiologists, what is done on site, waiting times and how emergencies are handled.
• Maternity hospital marketing in ThiruvananthapuramWith SAT Hospital on the Medical College campus as a public option, private maternity care is chosen on what families can see before booking: named obstetricians, room options, newborn care on site and clear package information where you are comfortable sharing it.
• Cancer centre marketing in ThiruvananthapuramThe Regional Cancer Centre is on the Medical College campus. A private oncology service in the city should say plainly what it offers, such as day-care chemotherapy, palliative care, a second opinion or follow-up closer to home.

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 Thiruvananthapuram, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 215 km, roughly five to six hours by road. An express train to Ernakulam is often quicker than the drive up NH 66. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Pattom, Kesavadasapuram and Ulloor, 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 Thiruvananthapuram?

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.
