Is Social Media For the Medical and Healthcare Industry In Kuala Lumpur?
The answer depends on 3 things:
1 – What you mean by Social Media
2 – The phase at which your medical practice is at
3 – The phase at which your local council or ministry is at

So yes, medical professionals certainly can incorporate elements of Social Media into their current promotional effort. And there is a responsible and effective way to do that.

There are ways of implementing Social Media Strategies that will get you your desired results. And they are many other ways of using social media that can get you into “undesirable” situations.

So what generally comes to mind when the word Social Media is mentioned

Invariably people think of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. And they may also think of posting messages, photos and videos.

That is Social Media. But there are many other social media platforms. And there are many other ways of using different Social Media platforms
Not using the correct platform in the correct way will not bring you the desirable results. And in the medical industry, this can mean rather serious consequences. Both the Ministry of Health as well as the Medical Councils have strict guidelines that need to be followed.

Depending on the maturity of the industry and the phase at which the business (medical practice) is at, a certain way of using particular social media platforms will serve you better.
