Outcomes we have engineered for institutions like yours

Real before-and-after results from growth programs we operate end to end. Figures are anonymised until a client clears their name.

DGS does not behave like an agency — they run our international patient line as if it were their own P&L. Volume grew quarter after quarter while our clinical teams stayed focused on medicine.
International Patient Services DirectorPartner hospital group, Istanbul
Our enquiries were leaking away between the first click and the first call. DGS’s telesales desk closed that gap — the same traffic now produces twice the booked treatments, and every conversation is documented in the CRM.
Chief Marketing OfficerPrivate hospital group, Türkiye
Within months their medical content engine had us ranking for procedures we’d never competed on. Organic enquiries stopped being a side channel and became our most profitable source of international patients.
Director of International MarketingJCI-accredited hospital network
We had budgeted eighteen months to build an international patient department. DGS had a full operation — acquisition, native-language sales, coordination — live before our first quarter closed.
Chief Executive OfficerSpecialty surgical clinic, Istanbul
Entering the Gulf market alone felt impossible; we had the medicine but not the language or the playbook. DGS’s Arabic desk made our hospital feel local to patients three thousand kilometres away.
International Business Development ManagerUniversity-affiliated hospital
What convinced our board wasn’t the volume — it was the reviews. DGS coordinates every journey from first enquiry to follow-up at home, and our international patient satisfaction scores now lead the group.

FAQ

Answers about how DGS grows healthcare institutions

What does DGS Healthcare do?

DGS Healthcare is a healthcare growth and medical-tourism management company. We operate international patient acquisition, marketing, CRM and software, multilingual call-center telesales, and end-to-end treatment coordination for hospital groups and clinics — turning marketing investment into booked treatments.

Is DGS a marketing agency or a medical tourism agency?

Both, unified into one operation. Unlike a traditional agency that only runs campaigns, DGS owns the entire funnel — from SEO and paid demand to telesales, patient coordination, travel logistics, and aftercare — so hospitals get patients, not just leads.

How does DGS acquire international patients?

We combine healthcare SEO and AI-answer optimization (AIO/GEO), paid search and social, medically reviewed content, and conversion-rate optimization, then convert demand with a 24/7 multilingual patient desk and CRM that prevents lead leakage.

Which countries and markets does DGS cover?

DGS acquires patients from 40+ source markets and coordinates care across 90+ countries, with localized operations in 17 international markets and multilingual telesales.

How does DGS measure results and ROI?

Every engagement is reported on measurable KPIs — qualified inquiries, response time, appointment and booked-treatment rates, and ROI per source market — with transparent dashboards rather than vanity metrics.

Can patients contact DGS directly for treatment abroad?

Yes. Patients can request a free medical opinion and our team will match them with the right accredited hospital and doctor, provide transparent pricing, and coordinate travel, treatment, and aftercare end to end.

What is AIO / GEO and why does it matter for hospitals?

AIO (AI Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) make your hospital the cited answer inside AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. As patients research care through AI, being the recommended source drives high-intent international inquiries.

Do you build custom CRM and patient apps?

Yes. We build and operate healthcare CRM, automation, and patient apps that become your system of record — tracking every lead from first inquiry to booked treatment and aftercare, with no leakage between teams.

How is DGS different from an in-house marketing team?

We bring a 250-person specialist operation — SEO, paid media, developers, analysts, and multilingual patient coordinators — for less than the cost and ramp-up of building it in-house, and we operate it under your brand from day one.

Which languages does your patient desk support?

Our telesales and patient desk operate across the major source-market languages, responding within minutes so international inquiries convert into confirmed appointments 24/7.

How quickly can an institution get started?

Most engagements begin with an audit and strategy sprint, then a build-and-integrate phase for SEO, CRM, and telesales workflows. Acquisition typically goes live within weeks, scaling market by market from there.

Is your work compliant and accreditation-first?

Yes. We follow HIPAA-aware, accreditation-first workflows and medically reviewed content standards, and we only coordinate care with internationally accredited hospitals and licensed specialists.
