    WhatsApp marketing for clinics and healthcare in India

    Quick answers

    Will WatsBerry’s AI give medical advice?
    No. AI FAQ is grounded in Bot Knowledge you publish (hours, prep, billing). It does not invent diagnoses or treatment. Humans handle clinical questions.
    Can we market prescription medicines on WhatsApp?
    Do not. Stay inside what Meta and Indian law allow. This page only covers booking, reminders, and FAQs you publish.
    Is an appointment reminder marketing or utility?
    If they already booked, a factual reminder is often submitted as utility. A “book our laser package” blast is marketing. See /resources/whatsapp-message-templates-guide.

    Use official WhatsApp for an Indian clinic without medical claims

    1. 1

      Connect a clinic WABA, not a doctor’s personal chat

      Embedded Signup. Personal WhatsApp for clinical chat is an ops and privacy risk we will not dress up as API.

    2. 2

      Publish hours, prep, and billing FAQs you actually stand behind

      Bot Knowledge answers only what you paste. It must not invent diagnoses or treatment.

    3. 3

      Collect bookings with Appointment Booking

      Preferred date + window → one shared Google Calendar. Not multi-doctor rosters in v1.

    4. 4

      Remind with utility templates if Meta accepts them

      appointment_reminder-style utility, not a marketing template that upsells a package as a “reminder.”

    5. 5

      Triage in a shared inbox

      Front desk owns the number. Join the waitlist if you need the workspace.

    Scope we will not exceed

    This is booking and operations, not telemedicine. We will not claim clinical outcomes, “WhatsApp doctor AI,” or unofficial bulk reminders to purchased patient lists.

    Allowed on this page: appointments, reminder templates, hours / prep / billing FAQs you publish, a shared inbox. Join the waitlist.

    The clinic loop that ships

    1. Embedded Signup.
    2. WhatsApp Form. Appointment Booking or a new-patient intake (name, phone, department routing, not a symptom checker we invented).
    3. Google Calendar, one shared front-desk calendar.
    4. Utility reminder if approved; otherwise a careful marketing template is still better than a grey SMS-to-WhatsApp gateway.
    5. Knowledge-grounded FAQ + handoff, chatbot.

    India payment links for self-pay invoices you already issued can use Razorpay. That is not global healthcare billing.

    Privacy and quality

    Do not put clinical detail in a marketing broadcast. Honour STOP. Bought “patient CSVs” destroy quality rating and trust.

    Join the beta waitlist. Documents if you later want the badge: green tick.

    WhatsApp lead management for service businesses in India: capture, qualify, book and get reviewed.
