What ASCI flags in healthcare ads

The Advertising Standards Council of India enforces the ASCI Code on healthcare advertising. Common flags:

  • Before/after images without disclosure
  • "Guaranteed" outcome language
  • Drug brand names in non-Rx-targeted ads
  • Comparative claims without evidence
  • Testimonials presented as typical results

What survives ASCI review

  • Specific procedure outcomes with disclosed timeline
  • "Most patients see X by month Y" with source
  • Doctor credentials + experience years
  • Service descriptions with side-effect disclosures
  • Realistic ranges instead of single numbers

What we ship

  • Pre-launch ASCI compliance review on all creative
  • Disclaimer copy generated for every ad
  • Photography disclosure on before/after work
  • Substantiation file maintained per campaign
  • Annual ASCI complaint trend review

Why choose us

Why healthcare brands choose us.

Six reasons hospitals, clinics, and doctors pick a healthcare-only firm over a generalist agency.

  • Healthcare-only

    It's all we do. No retail, no fintech — the whole team thinks in patient journeys, clinical trust, and the way people actually choose a doctor.

  • AI-first systems

    Receptionists, WhatsApp triage, and attribution built in-house — we answer patients in seconds and tie every click to a booked appointment.

  • Compliance built-in

    HIPAA-aware handling, ASCI-reviewed creative, and GDPR/DPDP sign-off on every campaign — our standard, not an upcharge or an afterthought.

  • Senior on every account

    The senior who pitched you stays on the engagement. No bait-and-switch to juniors learning on your budget.

  • Measured to the appointment

    Patient-level attribution across calls, forms, and walk-ins. Monthly reports show booked patients — not just clicks and impressions.

  • Receipts, not promises

    We name our clients and show the work. Quarterly reviews with the numbers attached, every cycle.
