Bengaluru, April 13: With an aim to Strengthen specialized pediatric care for allergic disorders, Rainbow Children’s Hospital has launched a Multidisciplinary Pediatric Food Allergy Clinic at its Marathahalli unit, Bengaluru. The clinic is designed to address the growing need for accurate diagnosis and structured management of food allergies in children, offering families access to coordinated, expert-led care under one roof.
The clinic focused on delivering precise diagnosis and personalized treatment through a comprehensive and holistic approach to care.

Through this multidisciplinary clinic, we can offer safe, structured evaluation and effective personalized treatment, while also supporting families with the right information and guidance.“
