WhatsApp marketing
We set up WhatsApp Business for your Satellite Town clinic or lab so reception stops drowning in calls: saved replies for timings and directions, a simple booking routine, a message when the doctor is running late, and a 'report ready' notice from labs that never puts results or diagnoses into a chat without the patient's agreement.
On the Business bundle package, from PKR 25,000 per month. Ad spend, if you run ads, is separate.
Why it fits
Satellite Town clinics are busiest in the evening, when consultants arrive after hospital duty and waiting rooms fill. Reception answers the same questions all afternoon: is the doctor sitting today, from what time, where do we park. Patients from older families would rather ask on WhatsApp in Urdu than browse a website. A tidy WhatsApp Business setup answers those questions in seconds and lets reception send a queue update when the doctor is held up at Holy Family. Medical information is sensitive, so the whole setup is built around privacy from the start.

Illustrative starting points, not results. The audit decides the real first move.

A delay notice
'Assalam o Alaikum. Doctor sahib aaj hospital se der se niklenge, clinic taqreeban aadha ghanta late shuru hoga. Aap ka number wahi rahega.' Sent only to that evening's booked patients.
Yes, and many patients prefer it. A WhatsApp Business number with saved replies for timings and directions, a short confirmation message and labels for booked and seen patients handles most evening bookings. It suits Satellite Town's consultant clinics, where patients often ask in Urdu whether the doctor is sitting today.
Only with the patient's agreement and to a verified number. Many Rawalpindi labs send a 'report ready' message and let the patient choose collection, a portal link or a WhatsApp copy. The safest default is never to send results or diagnoses into a chat unless the patient has asked for exactly that.
Pitfalls
The area
Satellite Town was Rawalpindi's first planned suburb, laid out in lettered blocks in the 1960s, and it has aged into a doctors' quarter. Consultant clinics, dental surgeries and small labs work out of converted houses around Holy Family Hospital. Patients are local and they choose on reputation, not advertising.

A local shop, clinic or service that needs to be findable, not just posted.
These are the questions we get on WhatsApp every week, answered the way we would answer them there.
WhatsApp usThe free WhatsApp Business app cannot schedule individual reminders by itself. Reception can send them from saved replies, or a clinic with heavy volume can move to the WhatsApp Business Platform through a provider, which we can set up.
No. The receptionist works the number on a linked device, and only questions reception cannot answer go to the doctor. Clinical advice by chat happens only if the doctor chooses to give it.
