Recently, my wife gave birth to our baby at Rainbow Children's Hospital, Hydernagar.
We were initially excited to be at one of the most prestigious children's hospitals in the city, but our experience was nothing short of a nightmare.
The hospital is incredibly expensive. Visiting charges are at least 900 rupees, blood tests that cost 700 rupees outside will be charged in thousands here, and each ultrasound report costs more than 4500 rupees (and you'll need at least three of them, VIP will be given preference in time and common people will be stranded for hours).
The doctors are always in a hurry due to the overload of patients. They have no time to explain anything to you, and they have no clear pricing packages. We had to wait for two to three hours to see Dr. Uma Jyothi, even though we had a scheduled appointment.
The private delivery rooms are small and expensive ~1.5 lacs Rs. The billing and administrative staff is rude and unprofessional.
The parking space is inadequate and will be forced to park far away and take my pregnant wife walking a long distance each time.
But the worst part of our experience is the paediatrician service with long waiting queue, no nursing lady to handle baby for weight, clothing etc. They will charge exorbitant.
Hearing test, vaccination price, which are two to three times higher than what we get outside.
Overall, Rainbow Children's Hospital, Hydernagar is a rip-off for new parents. They charge exorbitant prices for subpar services. I would strongly advise against taking your child to this hospital.
Here are some additional thoughts on the hospital's shortcomings:
1. The hospital is often overcrowded, and patients have to wait long hours to see a doctor.
2. The nursing staff is overworked, which can lead to poor patient care.
3. The hospital is not transparent about its pricing, and patients are often surprised by the high bills they receive.
4. The hospital has a history of medical negligence toward us.
I would strongly recommend to avoid Rainbow Children's Hospital, Hydernagar. There are many other better options available in the city.
