Introduction
In the healthcare industry, education-based digital campaigns are becoming a powerful way to reach doctors.
This case study highlights how a healthcare organization ran a digital awareness campaign for critical care doctors across India.
The goal was to share useful medical information and increase engagement among healthcare professionals (HCPs).
Campaign Overview
The campaign ran from December 17, 2024, to January 8, 2025, focusing on infection management topics relevant to doctors in critical care.
It aimed to build trust and provide value through informative articles instead of product promotion.
Three main articles were shared during the campaign:
- Complicated Urinary Tract Infections (cUTIs)
- Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (HAP)
- Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP)
The articles were distributed through multiple digital channels such as the mobile app, website, email, SMS, and WhatsApp.
This multi-channel approach helped ensure that the content reached doctors through their preferred platforms.
