The Objective

PSI/Vietnam and PSI’s Digital Health and Monitoring Department is looking for a Digital Marketing Contractor with the skills and experience to develop and execute digital campaign strategies aimed for the promotion of a digital self-care health information product to the targeted audience in Bac Ninh Province, Vietnam.

Scope of Work

This includes designing and developing a digital marketing strategy to promote the access and use of a digital self-care health information product. The product is a web-based platform that provides health information to consumers and linkage to self-care health assessment and sign-posting to a health facility for care seeking.

This initiative aims to respond to consumers’ demand for health information and services that is facilitated privately to enhance health-seeking behaviour within a non-stigmatized environment.

The product will seek to effectively shift in-person triage services to the consumer’s homes via their mobile/digital devices and signpost to facilities that provide the appropriate service to increase capacity and service coverage, mitigate misinformation and misdirection to inappropriate care, and reduce the inconvenience and costs related to accessing health services.

The consumer journey starts on the web page with promotional messages on the importance of prompt health-seeking behaviors and progresses to a Symptom Checker that is embedded within the web page. The Symptom Checker captures consumer health symptoms, determines the potential causes of the symptoms, and provides a call-to-action from which the consumer can decide on the appropriate next step. In case the next step is a recommended visit to a health facility, the consumer is redirected to a Provider locator, which is also embedded within the same web page to signpost the consumer to health facilities that provide the appropriate service that is being sought.
