About the Brand

A well-established healthcare provider offering multispecialty outpatient services across several clinics and hospitals. The brand is committed to delivering patient-centric care with experienced doctors, modern facilities, and streamlined appointment management.

Previously, the healthcare provider relied on phone calls, SMS reminders, and email newsletters to communicate with patients. However, these channels faced challenges in reaching patients promptly, leading to missed appointments, low engagement, and inefficient patient support.

The Challenges

• Appointment Booking & Reminders – Patients often missed or forgot appointments due to ineffective reminder systems.
• Patient Engagement – Limited interaction post-consultation made it hard to share care instructions or health tips, affecting follow-up care.
• Support Across Channels – Patient queries were scattered across phone calls, WhatsApp, and emails, causing delays and inconsistent responses.
• Manual Follow-Up Processes – The team spent excessive time managing appointment confirmations, cancellations, and feedback manually.
• Scalability – As patient numbers grew, maintaining personalized and timely communication became increasingly difficult.

The Bulkly Solution

Seeking an efficient, scalable way to engage patients, the healthcare provider partnered with Bulkly to leverage WhatsApp’s ubiquity and interactivity. Bulkly’s automated messaging and engagement tools helped centralize communication and deliver timely, personalized messages that enhanced patient experience and operational efficiency.

By automating appointment reminders, follow-ups, and patient support messages via WhatsApp, the healthcare team reduced missed appointments and improved patient satisfaction. Bulkly’s interactive quick reply buttons and bulk campaigns also simplified the patient journey, making it easier to book, reschedule, or get information — all from a single channel.
