The verdict in three sentences
For a private hospital group in Tunis, the website serves two audiences with nothing in common: physicians to recruit, who compare equipment and working conditions, and international patients from Libya, Algeria and Europe, who compare prices, lead times and support. A serious project costs between 60,000 and 140,000 TND excl. VAT in 2026 (about 17,600 to 41,000 EUR), trilingual Arabic-French-English, with a doctor directory, online treatment quotes and a careers area. A realistic goal is to raise international patients from 12% to 25% of revenue within two to three years.
Two journeys, one site
The foreign patient arrives via Google, Facebook or a medical facilitator. They look for a specialty (orthopaedics, cardiology, bariatric surgery, IVF, ophthalmology), a named doctor, an indicative price and logistics support: airport transfer, accommodation, interpreter. The physician candidate wants to know the equipment, the status offered (salaried, or private practice with a fee), patient volume and operating theatre quality.
| Audience | What they look for | Site module | Tracked indicator |
|---|---|---|---|
| Libyan patient | Specialty, Arabic-speaking doctor, price, appointment delay | Arabic directory, treatment quote | Quote requests per month |
| Algerian patient | Compared prices, accommodation, companion | Medical stay pages, packages | Quote conversion rate |
| European patient | Accreditations, Europe-trained surgeon, post-op follow-up | Quality pages in French and English | Visit duration, calls |
| Medical facilitator | Price grid, dedicated contact | Partner area | Files referred |
| Specialist physician | Equipment, status, pay | Careers area, job sheets | Qualified applications |
| Nurses and allied health | Positions, hours, training | Job listings | Applications per post |
Detailed budget by component
Trilingual delivery is the real technical challenge: Arabic requires right-to-left (RTL) layout, suitable typefaces and medical proofreading by a native speaker. The doctor directory must stay current without depending on the agency, which calls for a simple admin for the medical directorate.
| Project component | Content | 2026 budget excl. VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Institutional base | 3 clinics, specialties, equipment, accreditations | 25,000 to 35,000 TND |
| Trilingual AR-FR-EN with RTL | Medical translation, proofreading, Arabic layout | 12,000 to 25,000 TND |
| Doctor directory | Profiles, specialties, languages spoken, appointment booking | 8,000 to 18,000 TND |
| Online treatment quote | Form by specialty, encrypted upload of exams, reply within 48 h | 8,000 to 20,000 TND |
| Careers area | Job sheets, online application, HR tracking | 5,000 to 15,000 TND |
| Medical tourism pages | Stay packages, transfers, partner hotels | 2,000 to 12,000 TND |
| Security and compliance | Hosting, encryption, compliance with Tunisian Organic Law 2004-63 and GDPR | 0 to 15,000 TND depending on existing setup |
Total: from 60,000 TND excl. VAT for a tight scope to 140,000 TND excl. VAT for the full version. Allow 12 to 20 weeks of delivery, then 2,500 to 5,000 TND per month for maintenance, content and multilingual SEO.
Health data uploaded for a quote (medical reports, imaging) is sensitive: encryption, access limited to the referring doctor and a defined retention period are mandatory, with a declaration to the INPDP in Tunisia and GDPR compliance for European patients.
Mini case study
Sami, CEO of a 3-clinic group in Tunis with 90,000,000 TND revenue, 12% from international patients (10,800,000 TND), invests 110,000 TND excl. VAT in the site, plus 4,000 TND per month for maintenance and SEO, a total of 158,000 TND in year one. The online treatment quote receives 180 requests per month, 15% of which convert at an average basket of 9,000 TND: 243,000 TND per month, about 2,900,000 TND over the year if half of that flow is truly additional. The international share rises to about 15% in year one. On recruitment, the careers area fills 14 physician positions without a recruitment firm, avoiding 6,000 TND in fees per post: 84,000 TND saved.

FAQ
How much does a private hospital group website in Tunis cost in 2026?
Budget 60,000 TND excl. VAT (about 17,600 EUR) for a trilingual institutional scope with directory, and 140,000 TND (about 41,000 EUR) for the full version with treatment quotes, careers and medical tourism. Maintenance runs 2,500 to 5,000 TND per month.
Does the site really need Arabic, French and English?
Yes if you target Libyan patients, who mostly search in Arabic, and European patients. Arabic with RTL layout accounts for about 15 to 20% of the total budget.
Can we display treatment prices on the site?
An indicative range per procedure (for example hip replacement, IVF, cataract surgery) sharply increases requests. The final price is set after the doctor reviews the file, within 48 h.
How do we secure medical exams sent by patients?
Encrypted upload, access reserved for the referring doctor, retention limited to 12 months if no follow-up, and hosting compliant with Tunisian regulation and GDPR. The extra cost is 5,000 to 15,000 TND depending on existing infrastructure.
Is the site enough to recruit 40 physicians?
It reduces dependence on recruitment firms and can cover 30 to 40% of positions, provided you publish equipment, status and clear conditions. A targeted LinkedIn campaign completes the setup.
