Rainbow Children’s Medicare (Rainbow), founded in 1998, has established itself as a leading healthcare provider specializing in pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology. The company began its journey in 1999 by opening a 50-bed pediatric multi-specialty hospital in Banjara Hills. In 2009, Rainbow expanded its services to include maternity care (gynecology/ obstetrics). Dr. Ramesh Kancharla, an expert in pediatric hepatology and liver transplantation, leads the company. Rainbow implements a hub-and-spoke operational model to provide its services effectively. The central hospitals focus on delivering comprehensive outpatient and inpatient care, particularly tertiary and quaternary services. Meanwhile, the satellite centers provide emergency care, outpatient consultations and level 3 NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) services.

Rainbow has successfully implemented this model in Hyderabad and Bengaluru and the company actively works to replicate its approach in Chennai and the National Capital Region. Rainbow actively provides a wide range of pediatric services, including natal, neonatal and pediatric intensive care, multi-specialty treatments and advanced quaternary care such as multi-organ transplants for children.

The company delivers women’s healthcare services under the ‘Birthright by Rainbow’ brand, offering comprehensive perinatal care, which includes routine and complex obstetric care, multi-disciplinary fetal care, perinatal genetic and fertility support and a variety of gynecology treatments. Rainbow has made significant strides in expanding its IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) services across the group. Moreover, Rainbow has launched a pilot project called the Adult Vaccination Outreach Program (AVON) in collaboration with the top five vaccine manufacturing companies. This initiative aims to address the immunization needs of families and will cover vaccines such as Influenza, HPV, Pneumococcal and Shingles.
