Rainbow Children's Medicare launches 100-bed hospital in Rajahmundry
Hyderabad: Rainbow Children's Medicare Limited (RCML), India's leading pediatric multi-speciality and perinatal care hospital chain, announced the commencement of its 100-bed greenfield hospital in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh.
This development strengthens RCML’s footprint in the state, making Rajahmundry its third hospital in Andhra Pradesh, after Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam. Over the years, Rainbow has earned the trust of families across the region and has become a popular name in mother and child healthcare.
Strategically located between Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada, Rajahmundry serves as a natural demand centre for both the east and west Godavari districts. With a large population base, steady economic activity from agriculture, aqua and allied sectors, and increasing urban development, the city is emerging as a strong demand centre for healthcare services.

The hospital has been conceived as a regional hub to address healthcare needs across East and West Godavari regions, with affluent tier two cities, and adjoining districts together representing an addressable population of nearly 10–12 million.
The hospital adds 100 beds to RCML’s network, providing the full spectrum of pediatric and perinatal care, including 24x7 consultant-led emergency care, advanced NICU and PICU care, speciality pediatric clinics, high-risk obstetrics, fetal medicine, laparoscopic gynaecology, and fertility services under ‘BirthRight by Rainbow’.
The Rajahmundry launch follows recent additions in Warangal and Guwahati, marking RCML’s third new hospital in FY26. With these expansions, RCML’s network has scaled to 22 hospitals and 5 clinics across 9 cities, with a total capacity of ~ 2,300 beds.
This momentum reflects the company’s disciplined execution of its growth roadmap, which combines greenfield developments with selective acquisitions to expand reach and diversify across high-growth healthcare markets.
Commenting on the development, Dr Ramesh Kancharla, Chairman and Managing Director, Rainbow Children’s Medicare Limited (RCML), said, “The launch of our hospital in Rajahmundry is a significant step in Rainbow’s journey of enabling quality pediatric and perinatal care across Andhra Pradesh. This 100-bed facility is designed to serve the Godavari belt, one of the most prominent growth corridors in the state.
With 22 hospitals and ~ 2,300 beds today, we are on a strong trajectory to expand into new cities and deepen our presence, while building long-term value for our stakeholders.
At Rainbow, our commitment has always been to take advanced care closer to where it is needed the most, and this expansion reflects that promise. We will continue to build and invest with the same focus, creating a healthcare ecosystem that children and mothers across India can rely on.”
