We are happy to announce the Ronald McDonald House launch in the country 🎈🏡
Through Ronald McDonald House, you know that we provide care centres for families of patients in need, within and outside hospitals and medical centres, completely free of charge. We have two of these spaces: a Ronald McDonald Family Room within the Outpatient Department of Paediatric Haematology/Oncology at Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children in Mumbai (set up in 2016), and the second – opened in 2024 (it’s our 1 year anniversary, soon!), at Government Cancer Hospital in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad). Both rooms are in Maharashtra.
And now, we have BIGGER NEWS
India’s FIRST Ronald McDonald House is open in Mumbai, offering a home away from home for families of children undergoing medical treatment. Following McDonald’s global mission, McDonald’s RMHC reiterates that ‘No family should face their child’s medical journey alone.’
This state-of-the-art Ronald McDonald House is set to support families travelling to Mumbai from across Maharashtra and neighbouring Indian states for their children’s medical journeys.
📍 Located in Mahim (West), close to leading paediatric hospitals, our 3,200 square foot house features 16 fully furnished private rooms and can support more than 500 families, annually. Families will be provided with complimentary accommodation, nutritious meals, hospital transport, counselling, and 24/7 support from dedicated staff, enabling them to focus entirely on their child’s recovery journey. The shared amenities include a communal kitchen, play areas, and spaces designed to foster connection and comfort for the families.
Care and support, close to you 💛
Ronald McDonald House focuses on easing the challenge of securing safe accommodation in Mumbai and worrying about meals and transportation, for families and parents staying close to their children during their treatment. This House is for these families.
Smita Jatia, Chairwoman at Ronald McDonald House shares, “This is truly a historic moment for us at Ronald McDonald House. Since beginning our journey with the first Family Room at the Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children in 2016, we’ve dreamed of opening a Ronald McDonald House in India. With this first house, we are turning that dream into reality, ensuring families find strength, community, and comfort when they need it, most. McDonald’s RMHC House symbolises our commitment to standing by such families, every step of the way. When a child is ill, the entire family needs support. This house provides a nurturing environment where families can find respite, share experiences with others on similar journeys, and build a network of care. Our house embodies that belief in every aspect of its design and operation.”
Ronald McDonald House has made a difference to 35,000+ lives since 2016. We thank you for your support! Our 2030 vision includes establishing 3 more Family Rooms and 5 Ronald McDonald Houses across 5 cities, to help more Indian families.
