Tell us the audience and the channel, and we'll plan your World Sickle Cell Day campaign with you.
Why choose us
Six reasons hospitals, clinics, and doctors pick a healthcare-only firm over a generalist agency.
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.
Receptionists, WhatsApp triage, and attribution built in-house — we answer patients in seconds and tie every click to a booked appointment.
HIPAA-aware handling, ASCI-reviewed creative, and GDPR/DPDP sign-off on every campaign — our standard, not an upcharge or an afterthought.
The senior who pitched you stays on the engagement. No bait-and-switch to juniors learning on your budget.
Patient-level attribution across calls, forms, and walk-ins. Monthly reports show booked patients — not just clicks and impressions.
We name our clients and show the work. Quarterly reviews with the numbers attached, every cycle.

Beyond the day
For haematology services, World Sickle Cell Day is a ready-made reason to talk to patients. It works best inside a steady run of disease awareness content rather than as a single post.
If you run the campaign in-house, the social media content calendar guide and what doctors should post on Instagram cover the planning. Patient education content keeps the topic working in search after the day passes, and email and WhatsApp follow-ups reach patients who missed the posts.
Awareness content is still advertising, so check the rules where you post: the NMC's advertising guidelines for doctors in India and healthcare advertising rules across the GCC. Can doctors advertise on social media covers the common questions.
Practical notes & supporting evidence

Establish contextUse the published scope and relevant source material
Choose the next stepFollow the linked resource and assign an owner
For the proposed “Sickle Cell Facts” idea, define the audience question before making the artwork. The calendar suggests carousel content for instagram, facebook. Write the message, the intended next action and the person responsible for checking medical statements into the brief. Review the final caption and visual together, including any terminology that may need explanation for a general audience. A campaign idea is a starting point for planning, not evidence that a particular format will perform better for your practice.
If you also use “Carrier Screening Promotion”, decide whether it serves the same question or a different stage of understanding. Connect the pieces with consistent terminology and an appropriate destination for fuller information. Confirm the observance date and any annual theme with its current official organiser before publication; the stored calendar is a planning reference and should not be treated as a substitute for that check. Keep the source URL, approved text, creative version and publication date with the campaign record. This gives your team a clear reference when the content is adapted, translated or reused.
