• A WhatsApp enquiry flow with greeting messages, guidance on sharing medical reports securely and response-time standards for your international desk

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

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.

Vadakara is the main town of northern Kozhikode district, with the government District Hospital and private hospitals, clinics, labs and dental practices. It serves Nadapuram, Kuttiady, Payyoli and the villages towards the Kannur border, with Kozhikode's tertiary hospitals and the Malabar Cancer Centre at Thalassery within reach for complex care. Vadakara and the Nadapuram and Kuttiady belt have many households with members working in the Gulf, so treatment is often planned around a relative's leave or discussed on WhatsApp from abroad; locals search in Malayalam and rely heavily on recommendations from family and neighbours.

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

• Fertility and IVF clinic marketing in VadakaraThe Nadapuram and Kuttiady belt has many households with members in the Gulf, and couples often have only a short leave together, so fertility clinics that set out timelines, what can be prepared in advance and how video consultations work are easier to plan around.
• Ayurveda hospital marketing in VadakaraVadakara, the heart of the old Kadathanad, has a long kalaripayattu tradition, and traditional kalari treatment and massage are still sought here, so an ayurveda centre should be clear about which therapies its qualified physicians provide and avoid cure claims, which the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act restricts.
• Orthopaedic hospital marketing in VadakaraSome people around Vadakara try traditional kalari or ayurvedic treatment first for sprains and back pain, so an orthopaedic practice gains from explaining plainly when an X-ray or a specialist opinion is needed, without disparaging other systems of care.
• Cancer centre marketing in VadakaraWith specialist cancer centres within reach both north and south of the town, a cancer service in Vadakara is usually chosen for screening, follow-up or care closer to home, and must describe what it offers factually, without any claim to cure.

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 Vadakara, our office opposite Aster Medcity is about 225 km, five and a half to six hours by road. The train from Ernakulam takes about five hours, which is usually the easier option. Patients here often search by landmark, such as Vadakara new bus stand, Vadakara railway station and Nadapuram, 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 Vadakara 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.
