Second extension of the site worldwide
Doctissimo.fr, France’s leading women’s website with 7.9 million Unique Visitors (Source: Nielsen Netratings, May 2010), is pursuing its worldwide expansion with the introduction of an Italian version: Doctissimo.it.
Managed out of Paris by Doctissimo’s teams who draw on ten years’ experience in web-based healthcare issues, the site also taps into the market knowledge and sales and marketing expertise of Italy’s Hachette Filipacchi, a Lagardère Active subsidiary.
Doctissimo.it comprises an editorial section:
- 9 editorial sections (healthcare, wellbeing, sexuality, pregnancy, baby care, nutrition, beauty, psychology and recipes)
- Background articles, replete with facts and reviewed by Italian healthcare professionals
- Healthcare news from Italy’s main press agency
- Healthcare and pregnancy encyclopaedias, plus medical, sexuality and baby name dictionaries
- A baby blog
- A psychology blog written by a renowned psychologist
- A beauty and wellbeing blog
- Themed tests (healthcare, psychology, sexuality, etc.)
And a section devoted to communities:
- A forum engaging Internauts to respond to, and share about, the themes addressed by Doctissimo.it and on matters of daily life.
According to Valérie Brouchoud, CEO of Doctissimo : « Internet has become a major tool for patients to get information. Following its successful launch in Spain, Doctissimo Italy again shows our determination to provide Internet users with up-to-the minute information in the field of health and wellbeing. »
