Rainbow Children's Hospital & BirthRight, Guindy, Chennai

Rainbow Children’s Hospital & BirthRight, Guindy is a 120-bed women’s and children’s hospital in Chennai. It was established in 2018 and is NABH accredited. The hospital is located on Anna Salai near Little Mount Metro Station and focuses on paediatric, neonatal, obstetric and gynaecological care.

The paediatric service covers general paediatrics as well as paediatric surgery, orthopaedics, haematology-oncology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, nephrology and ENT, with additional subspecialty support. The hospital provides secondary, tertiary and quaternary paediatric and neonatal care and also manages maternity and women’s-health cases through BirthRight services.

Critical-care infrastructure includes advanced neonatal and paediatric intensive-care units. Rainbow states that these units are staffed by paediatric, neonatal, obstetric and gynaecology intensivists for management of critically ill children, newborns and mothers. Consultants are available around the clock, and neonatal and paediatric retrieval services support transfer of patients who need a higher level of care.

The close combination of obstetrics, neonatology and paediatric subspecialties is particularly relevant when a high-risk pregnancy or delivery may require immediate neonatal assessment or paediatric critical care. The Guindy hospital may therefore be relevant for premature or critically ill newborns, children requiring subspecialty treatment or surgery, paediatric oncology cases and women who need maternity care with neonatal support available in the same hospital.
