“ If someone has chest pain and is diagnosed with cardiac problems, the care that he gets in a city such as Bangalore is not different from what he would get in New York of London, Whereas for a pregnant woman or a new born baby, the care that they get in India is at least 10 years behind schedule” Says Dr. R Kishore Kumar, CEO and Managing Director, and also the consultant Neonatalogist & Pediatrician of The Cradle Hospital, Bangalore.

With a resolve to bridge this huge gap of facilities available in India and the West, Dr. Kishore conjugated his vision with the concept of Apollo Hospitals – The Cradle- to lay the foundation of a prenatal center where top priority would be given to sage and comfortable birthing process ensuring that anxious parents-to-be leave with a healthy child. The biggest challenge was to achieve a child birth survival rate which was unheard of in India. This was mammoth task that demanded the best chil care expertise, technology and trained professionals along with thoughtful implementation of the core ideas and values.
Vision embraces dream
Of course a woman is never alone during her pregnancy. Longing to touch those tiny hands and tender feet, she is always surrounded with that fear of the unknown coming with the child birth. Surely, it isn’t for nothing that stretch marks are considered the pregnancy service stripes for a woman, underlining the courage that a woman needs and the pain she has to bear. Add to this the fact that half a million women lose their lives across the world during pregnancy.
In India, Metarnal Mortality Rate of 301 per 100,000 live births*, is one of the highest in the world as compared to nations like, UK(10) and neighboring countries like Srilanka(60), China (60). Similarly, Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in India is 56 per1000 live births against 2.80 in Japan and 2.76 in Sweden.
It was against this backdrop, that Dr. R. Kishore Kumar, a well known neonatalogist, decided to come back to his home land, after having served for 19 years in 4 continents including USA, UK and Australia. One of the youngest & the highest qualified neonatologists in the world and felicitated by the former US president bill Clinton, Dr. Kishore had only one dream “Setting up a perinatal center of international standards where mothers-to-be will get world class medical attention along with luxury and comfort of a home to ensure that the baby will have a smooth transition from the safety of the womb to the outside world.”
