• International patient pages in Arabic and English covering doctors, any accreditation you hold, the treatment journey, estimates, travel and stay

• Doctor explainer videos in English with Arabic subtitles
• Brochures and presentations for facilitators, embassies and corporate partners
• 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.

Thodupuzha is the largest town in Idukki district and its main medical centre: the Idukki district hospital is here, Al-Azhar Medical College and Super Speciality Hospital is at Kumaramangalam, and several private hospitals, clinics and diagnostic centres serve the town. It is also the gateway to the high range, so it receives patients coming down from the hill towns on the routes to Munnar and Thekkady. Patients include rubber and pineapple farming families from the surrounding villages and high-range families who travel down the ghat roads for specialist care. Because Muvattupuzha and Kochi are within reach, many compare Thodupuzha options with those towns on Google before deciding where to go.

We run medical tourism marketing by specialty, because diagnostic centres and orthopaedic hospitals in Thodupuzha are searched for in different ways:

• Diagnostic centre marketing in ThodupuzhaHigh-range patients coming down for scans or blood tests want everything done and reported in one trip, so a diagnostic centre should state report times, fasting instructions and early opening hours plainly.
• Orthopaedic hospital marketing in ThodupuzhaRubber tapping and pineapple farming around Thodupuzha and Vazhakulam are heavy manual work, so orthopaedic pages that explain back, knee and shoulder treatment in terms of getting people back to work speak to this catchment.
• Cardiology centre marketing in ThodupuzhaThodupuzha is often the nearest larger town for high-range families with heart problems, so a cardiology service should state clearly what is available round the clock and how to reach it quickly from the hill roads.
• Dialysis centre marketing in ThodupuzhaPatients from the high-range towns who need dialysis several times a week face long ghat-road journeys, so a unit in Thodupuzha that offers predictable slots and clear directions from the Idukki side takes real strain off families.

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.

• Medical tourism marketing: how we work

Can our hospital or clinic in Thodupuzha 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.
