Responsible communication for a sensitive sector
Patients, caregivers, doctors, hospital administrators, regulators and investors all read healthcare news, and every one of them expects accuracy. A hospital opening a cardiac centre, a diagnostics chain entering a new state and a medtech start-up receiving a device approval each carry real consequences for readers. Our editors check that claims are supported, attributed and free of misleading promises before anything goes live.
Reaching patients, clinicians and investors
Healthcare reach is local, national and global at once. A multi-speciality hospital needs patients in its catchment and referring doctors across the region; a pharma or medtech firm needs distributors, hospital buyers and, often, international partners.
- Hospitals, clinics and diagnostics: an India Focused package gives you national wire distribution via agencies such as ANI and PTI and a network of Indian news sites that patients and families find when they search your name.
- Pharma, medtech and healthtech going global: the US & International packages suit export approvals, overseas partnerships and clinical collaborations, with premium placements such as AP News when the audience is international investors or partners.
- Medical tourism: hospitals courting patients from the Gulf can combine India coverage with UAE distribution.
2,400+ Indian and international publications in our distribution network, including outlets such as:
Outlets are examples from our network. Placement depends on the package chosen and each publisher’s editorial acceptance.

Getting health claims right
Healthcare releases are judged on evidence. A few rules keep yours credible:
- Cite the source of every clinical claim: the journal, the trial phase or registry, the sample and who conducted it. Say "early results suggest" when that is the truth.
- Name the approving authority precisely, for example CDSCO in India or the US FDA, and the exact scope of the approval.
- Respect promotion rules. Indian law restricts advertising of prescription medicines and remedies claiming to cure certain conditions to the general public, and pharma marketing codes govern how companies address doctors. Keep consumer releases to corporate and factual news.
- Protect patients. Do not name or picture patients without documented consent, and keep success stories factual.
- Keep the ASCI mindset: no exaggerated comparisons, no "best hospital" claims without a verifiable basis.
We do not publish "miracle cure" claims, unapproved treatment promotion or content that could endanger patients. This protects readers and keeps your announcement credible. Our content guidelines list what our editors look for.
On timing, tie awareness releases to recognised health days such as World Heart Day or World Diabetes Day, when health desks look for local angles, and publish facility launches a few days before the inauguration so coverage is live when invitations go out to referring doctors.
What coverage does for search
Health searches are trust searches. Patients look up a hospital with its specialty and city, a doctor's name with "reviews", or a medicine brand with "side effects". News coverage on established domains adds accurate, third-party pages for your institution, specialists and products, which can appear for those brand queries and, on eligible publishers, in Google News. For SEO, search engines hold health topics to a high bar for expertise and trustworthiness, so mentions on credible news sites support your clinical topic authority alongside a well-maintained website. Links in distributed releases are typically nofollow; the value is visibility, credibility and referral traffic, not guaranteed rankings. Our digital PR service can extend that with expert commentary.
Accurate answers in AI health searches
People now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews which hospitals offer a procedure in their city or what a newly approved device does. AI systems tend to rely on sources that look authoritative and agree with each other. Releases that state the facility name, accreditation, specialty, lead clinician, approval body and verifiable figures on news domains give these tools precise, citable material. We cannot promise an AI system will cite you, but clear, consistent facts reduce the risk of an outdated or wrong answer about your organisation. More in GEO for PR.

Frequently asked questions
Can a pharma company announce a new prescription drug in a press release?
You can announce corporate news such as an approval, launch or manufacturing milestone factually, naming the approving authority. The release should not promote the prescription medicine directly to patients or make therapeutic claims beyond the approved use.
Can hospitals share patient success stories?
Only with documented patient consent and without exaggerated outcomes. Many hospitals focus the release on the procedure, the team and the facility rather than on an individual patient.
How should we present clinical trial or research results?
Cite the study, journal or registry, the trial phase and the sample, and use cautious language for early or preliminary findings. Our editors may ask for a source if a claim is not attributed.
Which package fits a medtech approval aimed at international partners?
A US & International package, optionally with a premium AP News placement, reaches global audiences, while an India Focused package covers domestic hospitals, distributors and investors. Many medtech firms run both.
Will your editors reject a wellness or Ayurveda brand release?
Not automatically. Factual corporate news is welcome, but claims to cure diseases or replace medical treatment will be removed or the release declined.
