First - H M I D

In recent years, without being a discipline not clearly identified, the "health marketing" has appeared in publications and conference marketing not to mention magazines that are exclusively dedicated across the Atlantic for many years. However, this marketing remains inadequately explored by the different actors and its tools are rather anchored in traditional approach of management marketing of products, services and quality while its field of study should also make its own emotional and ethical perspective. However, the health sector is undergoing a revolution. Whatever is said, a dual obligation of means and results weighs on it. The information society and communication sector requires opening outwards in general, specifically to patient-customers and still wider to engage with different stakeholders.
	What are the springs and conditions of this opening? What strategies are conceivable in a field where the marketing mix is largely cut or otherwise should be enriched. The market focus is it possible in this area constantly being redefined? Traditionally focused on the medical, communications of industries and structures of health change targets. How better to define them and how to communicate with them? The area is rich of information but this remains scarce and rarely shared, and how do desecrate and democratize data? Does awareness of the power of new ways to communicate porter its fruits nearby of actors of health? Marketing of health should remain confined to the valuation of ex-post of products and services or should it create and develop ex-nihilo of new modes consummatory of health and for the benefit of whom?
In short, how far the marketing of health should it go to give its best and to what extent should it remain to give only its best? It seems therefore legitimate of revisit the relationships which are susceptible to maintain two concepts apparently distant which are the marketing and the health.
