The company established its first pediatric specialty hospital in 1999 in Hyderabad, Telangana. Since then, under the leadership of Dr. Ramesh Kancharla, its founding Promoter, it has established its reputation as a leader in multi-specialty pediatric services, with strong clinical expertise in managing complex diseases. It has also expanded its operations to include obstetrics and gynecology services, whereby it offers comprehensive perinatal services to patients.

The company follows a doctor engagement model whereby most of its core specialists work exclusively at its hospitals on a full-time retainer basis. This model ensures that most of its core specialists are available 24/7 on a roster basis at its hospitals, which is particularly important for children’s emergency, neonatal and pediatric intensive care services. The company’s fulltime doctor model along with a strong middle grade doctor pool ensures seamless healthcare delivery across its hospitals, which has resulted in a high degree of patient satisfaction. A number of its doctors in neonatal, pediatric intensive care, pediatric sub specialties, obstetrics and gynecology are trained or possess qualifications from the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and Australia, which provides it with a competitive advantage.
