Where Life Begins with Care - Born Too Soon Born Too Small
Every baby deserves
the best possible beginnings, to come into this world with all the colours
added to life. But sometimes, life takes an unexpected turn. Some babies arrive
too soon, too small, or facing critical challenges. Preterm births, low birth
weight, and complications at delivery can make their first journey a difficult
one. The normal rhythm of family life is disrupted. In these moments,
stress, confusion, and fear can take hold - leaving families in need of not
just medical care, but emotional support and reassurance. That’s why it’s essential to
choose a hospital that offers comprehensive and advanced care right from pregnancy
planning, childbirth and beyond. As parents prepare for the arrival of their
baby, it’s important to think beyond the nursery and consider the full spectrum
of maternal and pediatric care that may be needed, from routine deliveries to
critical neonatal support.
Our
Comprehensive Approach to Pregnancy & High-Risk Pregnancy Care
From the moment you
step into BirthRight by Rainbow, you're not just a patient, you are part of a family
we deeply care for. Our maternity wing is designed to offer holistic services
from early pregnancy care and diagnostics to delivery and postnatal support,
making every stage of your journey informed, safe, and supported. Our multidisciplinary expert team of
obstetricians, fetal medicine specialists, neonatologists, and pediatricians collaborate
seamlessly to screen and manage even the most complex pregnancies with
precision and compassion.
From advanced comprehensive screening for high-risk pregnancies to round-the-clock expert attention during delivery, every birth at BirthRight by Rainbow is attended by experienced neonatologists and pediatricians ensuring both mother and baby are in the safest hands, any time of day or night. Pregnancy and childbirth are profound journeys that require continuous support from highly skilled medical specialists at every stage. For expectant parents, the birth of a child is one of life’s most cherished and eagerly anticipated moments. Growing evidence shows that a person’s health throughout life from infancy to adulthood is significantly influenced starting from the prenatal phase. This makes vigilant, specialized care during pregnancy essential to ensure that every child is born in the best possible health.
Our obstetricians carefully review each patient’s individual profile to ensure a safe delivery, focusing on prolonging the pregnancy whenever possible and minimizing the risk of preterm birth or low birth weight that could result in NICU admission. To further support expecting families, we offer exclusive childbirth preparation classes designed to educate and empower parents through every stage of labor and delivery. However, should any emergency arise during delivery, our expert teams are fully prepared to respond immediately, ensuring the highest level of care for both mother and child.
A child’s first breath should happen be in an environment equipped to provide expert care — supporting their child’s health journey from newborn through adolescence. BirthRight by Rainbow Hospitals pioneered the integration of childbirth within a dedicated children’s hospital setting, ensuring immediate access to specialized care for any medical needs the baby may require without the stress of rushing to another facility at any hour.
Prepared for Any Challenge: Our Advanced Intensive Care Units
Premature birth presents a multifaceted
challenge, demanding both medical expertise and emotional resilience. These
tiny new-borns, many weighing less than a kilogram face immediate and serious
health risks, from respiratory distress and underdeveloped organs to long-term
developmental delays and increased vulnerability to infections. Advancements in
neonatal care offer hope, but the journey remains daunting for families, both
emotionally and financially. Raising awareness, supporting ongoing research,
and ensuring readiness in handling extremely low birth weight or preterm
infants are essential to improving outcomes and fostering a more supportive
environment for these vulnerable new-born’s and their families.
Rainbow Children’s Hospital stands as
one of the leading pediatric hospitals in the country, equipped with largest network
of level IV neonatal
intensive care unit (NICU) and a comprehensive pediatric intensive care
(PICU).
Rainbow’s NICU is
designed to offer the highest level of care for new-born’s in need of
critical medical attention. From
advanced incubators and ventilators to stringent infection control protocols
and constant monitoring, every inch of the NICU is engineered to protect ,
support and nurture the most fragile lives.
Our trained neonatologists, work 24/7 to ensure each baby receives individualized care. Alongside them, a multidisciplinary team of neonatal nurses, respiratory therapists, and support staff remain by the baby’s side every moment of the day.
At Rainbow, we’ve handled some of the rarest and most critical cases of extremely low birth weight babies, some born weighing less than 1 kg, with a remarkable record of saving a baby weighing just 350 grams. At BirthRight by Rainbow Hospitals, we’ve earned the trust of families across the country, with over 201,300 successful deliveries. These success stories are a testament to our commitment and deep expertise in neonatal medicine.
Nourishing Life: Rainbow’s Mother’s Milk Bank
At Rainbow, we go beyond treatment, Our Mother's Milk Bank ensures that even the most premature babiesreceive the vital nutrition they need to
grow stronger, fight infections, and develop naturally.
Mental Health Support for Parents
Having a newborn in the NICU is an emotionally
overwhelming experience, often filled with uncertainty, fear, and a deep sense
of helplessness. At Rainbow, we
understand these challenges and offer dedicated psychological support and counselling
to help families cope. Our NICU team actively communicates with parents,
keeping them involved in their baby’s progress and encouraging skin-to-skin
contact (kangaroo care) whenever possible to strengthen emotional bonds, we
care for the whole family, not just the patient.
The
Collaborative Effort: Obstetricians, Fetal medicine Specialists and
Neonatologists
From the moment a
high-risk pregnancy is identified, our obstetricians work closely with fetal
medicine specialists, and neonatologists to plan every detail from advanced antenatal counselling, early
detection, diagnosis and fetal interventions to safe delivery and
postnatal care.
We work in close
collaboration with fetal medicine specialists to identify and manage risk
factors that may lead to low birth weight or preterm delivery. Using advanced
imaging, genetic screening, and detailed growth monitoring, early warning signs
such as placental insufficiency, fetal growth restriction, or maternal
complications are detected and addressed proactively. This integrated approach
enables timely interventions that optimize fetal health, prolong pregnancy to a
safer gestational age, and significantly reduce the likelihood of NICU
admissions after delivery. This integrated approach ensures that babies born
prematurely or with medical conditions receive immediate, often life-saving
intervention — sometimes within seconds of birth.
