What is Medico Marketing?
Medico Marketing refers to the information exchange process between drug manufacturers and healthcare professionals—such as doctors, nurses, and pharmacists—as well as patients.
The primary goal of this exchange is to communicate the benefits and applications of a company's products in the prognosis or treatment of health-related issues. The success of Medico Marketing hinges on strategic planning, including goal setting, target market identification, and ongoing evaluation of marketing strategies.
