Literature review
Health care marketing
•
•
•
•
•

Advanced in pharmaceutical industries
Pervasive, unknown, even prohibited in clinical settings
Embryonic in developing countries: Rwanda
However, marketing principles applicable
Challenges:
 Health care systems operations and processes intricate;
 Consumer’s needs as health requirements;
 Health services not understood by consumers;
 Always ready to serve patients under death threats
 Uniqueness of health care services pricing
 Varied and diversified health care needs and wants
Literature review
Successful Healthcare marketing: strategies
• Thorough situation (marketing) analysis
• Know and differentiate the consumers and payers of
services
• Understand the organization and structure of the
health care system
“Customer analysis, trade-offs on access, cost, quality, dimensions of
political, technological, economic, social, demographic, regulatory changes
and determinants of the utilization of health services lead to an informed
strategic marketing planning” (Kotler, Shalowitz & Stevens, 2008)

• Marketing mix: products, promotion, place and price.
Research design & methods
Type of the study
• Qualitative and case study
• Why a single case of the Hôpital la Croix du Sud:
─Is the unique largest modern private hospital in
Rwanda
─Has a wide range of services offered
─Operations and management systems including
marketing
Research design & methods
Data collection

─ Official request for authorization.
─ Guided semi-structured interviews
─ Key staff recognizable for their knowledge of
marketing issues: Director general, managers, and
heads of departments;
─ Face to face interviews
─ Administered questionnaires
─ Consultation of internal and external documents
related to the topic: government policies,
newspapers, experts, etc.
Research design & methods
Data analysis
─ “Ground theory” approach
─ Guided by the research questions
─ Identification, drawing, conceptualization of each
information towards answering the research
question
─ Phenomena of similarity grouped into conceptual
labels
─ And then in turn categorized accordingly
Findings
Current marketing practices in use at the Hôpital la Croix du Sud

– Word-of-mouth marketing
– Public relations and partnership
– Customer care services
– Advertising
Challenges

– High cost media channels with limited reach and
audience
– Local cultural conceptions: marketing medical services
is unethical and inappropriate, against the morale
– Code of law on publicity and information of health care
services unclear on what is legal and illegal
Findings
• Hospital management is aware that marketing is
instrumental in creating value for its customers and
building strong customer relationships
• Adopted some comprehensive marketing initiatives
and activities:
– Strengthening its public relations
– Customer care services with the company’s motto
“Excellence in Health Care”
– Adopted the implementation of the Ministry of Health
customer care norms
Conclusion and recommendations
Conclusion
• Health care marketing at embryonic stage
• Customer-driven and oriented business strategy
focusing on two main marketing strategies: public
relations and customer care services
• Challenges and problems in a market dominated by
the public health facilities
• Regulation and legislation on health care marketing
not yet established.
Conclusion and recommendations
Recommendations
In light of marketing practices and challenges above, we recommend:
• Design a legal and regulative framework on health care marketing
in Rwanda
• Establish a marketing department with staff trained in formal
marketing management
• The hospital to implement a market-oriented strategy
• Further research on marketing for better understanding of the
perception and acceptability of marketing practices from the
consumers and providers’ perspectives;
Thank you for your kind
attention
