Under the greeting, above the quick actions. Every patient who opens the app; the highest-traffic screen we have.
Every advert carries the “Ad” label. No prescription medicine may be advertised to the public (Medicines Act s18C).
How it works
From idea to live in four steps
- 01
Open an advertiser account
Clinicians, pharmacies and healthcare organisations advertise from their own NuHealth portal. Brands, agencies and NGOs start with our sales team.
- 02
Choose screens, format and dates
Pick where the advert runs and how it looks. The wizard draws it in each screen and quotes the total before you pay.
- 03
We review it
Every advert is checked against South African health-advertising rules and our own before it goes live. You are told if anything must change.
- 04
Go live and measure
Pay online and the advert runs on the dates you chose. Impressions and clicks are counted and shown in your dashboard.
Trust
Health advertising, done honestly
The rules every advert on NuHealth follows — so members trust what they see, and your brand sits somewhere trusted.
Counts, never people
Adverts run by screen. You see impressions and clicks — never who saw your advert, and never anyone’s health information. POPIA by design.
Reviewed before it runs
NuHealth approves every advert before it is shown. Claims must be truthful and able to be substantiated, as the Advertising Regulatory Board’s code requires.
Always labelled
Every paid placement carries an Ad label, and a pharmacy’s own sale price is shown as a store sale — a member always knows what is advertising.
Medicine rules respected
Under the Medicines and Related Substances Act, Schedule 2 and higher medicines may not be advertised to the public. Schedule 0 and 1 products, health services and wellness may.

Questions
Advertising on NuHealth, answered
How much does advertising on NuHealth cost?
Every screen has a daily rate and every format a daily rate. A campaign costs the format plus the screens you choose, times the number of days, and the wizard shows the total before you pay. The live rate card is on this page.
Who can advertise?
Registered clinicians and practices, pharmacies, hospitals and clinics, health and wellness brands, medical-device companies, insurers, NGOs and public-health campaigns — subject to review.
Can I advertise prescription medicine?
No. South African law allows only Schedule 0 and Schedule 1 medicines to be advertised to the public. Health services, wellness products and awareness campaigns are welcome.
Will I see who viewed my advert?
No. You see how many times the advert was shown and clicked, by screen. NuHealth never shares members’ identities or health information with advertisers.
Where will my advert appear?
Only on the screens you choose: the NuHealth app (home, ePharmacy, doctors, pharmacies, NuHealth Social, Mom to Be, Venus, iQuit) and the patient web portal. Each screen is drawn on this page with a sample advert in its real slot.
