The verdict in three sentences
For a private clinic in Yaounde, the site must reassure and convert: specialty pages, doctor profiles and online booking. In 2026, the showcase costs between 1,500,000 and 3,000,000 FCFA, plus 500,000 to 1,200,000 FCFA for a booking module, delivered in 5 to 8 weeks. The decisive lever is the booking module, which generates up to +40% online bookings and relieves the front desk.
2026 showcase + booking module budget
Price depends on the number of specialties, doctor profiles and the sophistication of the booking module.
| Package | Content | Price FCFA | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Health showcase | 8-10 pages, specialties, doctors | 1,500,000 - 2,200,000 | 4-5 wks |
| Showcase + health blog | + advice blog, news | 2,200,000 - 3,000,000 | 5-6 wks |
| Simple booking module | Slots, SMS/email confirmation | + 500,000 - 800,000 | +2 wks |

Dr. Ngono runs a 6-specialty private clinic in Yaounde. Before: a saturated phone line, 25% missed calls, a paper agenda. She invests 2,400,000 FCFA (showcase + blog) and 1,000,000 FCFA (advanced booking module), plus 160,000 FCFA/month (hosting, maintenance, SMS). Result over 4 months: 38% of appointments are booked online, missed calls fall to 8%, and reception recovers about 15 hours/week. On an average consultation at 20,000 FCFA, capturing 30 extra appointments a month means 600,000 FCFA/month of added revenue.
FAQ
Is the booking module worth the cost? Yes: it captures patients outside opening hours, reduces missed calls and no-shows through SMS reminders. For a high-volume clinic it often pays off in 2 to 3 months.
Do we need a page per doctor? Yes, doctor profiles (photo, specialty, background) reassure patients and improve local SEO. Patients often search for a practitioner by name or specialty.
Is a health blog useful for a clinic? Very: articles on conditions and prevention attract qualified traffic and position the clinic as a reference. Publishing 2 articles/month clearly boosts visibility on "clinic Yaounde".
How is patient data privacy handled? The booking module stores only the minimum (name, contact, reason), with consent and secure hosting. No sensitive medical data travels without encryption.
Can we integrate WhatsApp for appointments? Yes, a floating WhatsApp button complements the online module and reassures patients used to messaging. It's a highly effective channel in Cameroon.
