A 150-bed multispecialty children's hospital was formally inaugurated by Vice President of India M Venkaiah Naidu at Malviya Nagar on Friday.
The Hospital is equipped with specialized mobile vans designed for newborns and aims to cover short and long distances to transport babies and children.
Speaking on this occasion, Naidu congratulated the team for the initiative and said, “Rainbow has made it possible to bring such a state of the art children healthcare facility in the city. If we join the public sector and private sector, healthcare facilities will progress much faster in the country,” he said.
Meanwhile, Union Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda who is also present on the occasion said that it is indeed a very unique idea which is uncommon in India, where under one roof all specialists will cater to the pediatric health needs of children.
Multispeciality under one roof is certainly going to benefit the children of the State. This is going to be a breakthrough as far as diseases related to children are concerned, he said.
Madhukar Rainbow Children’s Hospital is an advanced pediatric multispecialty hospital wherein a lot of emphasis has been given to intensive care services, which includes the 30 bedded children’s tertiary Newborn intensive care unit, (NICU) and 15 bed multidisciplinary Pediatric intensive care (PICU) unit backed with 24/7 consultant led pediatric emergency & transport services, said a senior hospital official.
