Frequently Asked Questions About Healthcare Marketing

What regulations apply to healthcare marketing in UAE?

Healthcare marketing in the UAE is regulated by DHA (Dubai), DOH (Abu Dhabi), and MOH (federal). Regulations cover advertising claims, use of testimonials, medical credentials, and patient privacy. We ensure all marketing complies with applicable requirements.

Can we use patient testimonials?

Yes, with proper consent and within regulatory guidelines. Testimonials must be genuine, not misleading, and obtained with documented patient consent. We help implement compliant testimonial programs.

How do you handle patient privacy in marketing?

We implement privacy-compliant processes for all patient data. Marketing databases are separate from medical records. Any patient information used requires appropriate consent. We follow best practices for healthcare data handling.

Which services should we market first?

We recommend prioritizing high-value services where you have competitive advantage, sufficient capacity, and clear patient need. Strategy sessions identify optimal service line priorities.

How long does healthcare SEO take?

Healthcare SEO typically takes 4-6 months to show significant results due to the competitive nature of medical keywords and the need for authoritative content. Paid advertising provides faster initial results.

Do you work with medical tourism providers?

Yes, we have experience marketing to international patients seeking care in the UAE. This requires multi-language content, international targeting, and specific messaging about travel and accommodation.

How do you measure healthcare marketing success?

We track appointments booked, patient acquisition cost, website conversions, phone calls, and when possible, patient lifetime value. Attribution connects marketing activities to patient acquisition.

Can you help with physician personal branding?

Yes, building physician reputation is important for patient attraction. We develop physician profiles, thought leadership content, and social presence that establishes credibility.

What about marketing during health awareness months?

We plan campaigns around relevant health awareness periods (Heart Health Month, Breast Cancer Awareness, etc.) that align with your services and provide genuine patient education.

Do you handle crisis communications?

We can support crisis communication planning and response for reputation-threatening situations, though this is separate from ongoing marketing services.
