The problem

No-shows and language barriers quietly tax every clinic.

Missed appointments cost Indian clinics 15–25% of their daily schedule. Lab-result delivery by phone call is slow and error-prone. Care instructions sent only in English reach fewer than half of the patients who actually need them.

What you really need is a messaging layer that speaks the patient's language, respects medical privacy, and integrates with the HIS or EMR you already run — without becoming another system your front-desk has to babysit.

The problem, in numbers

15–25%

of daily clinic schedules lost to no-shows — a direct opportunity for day-before and same-day reminders.

FAQ

Common questions from hospital and clinic teams.

Can I send lab reports directly inside a WhatsApp message?

Not in the message body. Send a link to a secure patient portal where the patient logs in. This keeps PHI out of any intermediate store and preserves your audit trail.

What about HIPAA compliance?

HIPAA is US-specific. India operates under the DPDPA 2023 framework. SMSLocal runs on India-based infrastructure and signs DPAs with healthcare customers.

Which Indian languages are supported?

SMS supports every major Indian script via Unicode — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia and more. WhatsApp templates accept 11 Indian languages at the platform level (Meta's capability). Our AI WhatsApp agent replies in 8 Indian languages today — Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, and Kannada — with Malayalam, Punjabi, and Urdu on the near-term roadmap.

Can different clinics or branches share one account?

Yes. Create sub-accounts per branch with their own sender IDs, DLT templates, and budget caps — all under a single master wallet and billing.
