Bela Medical Agencies

We are located in units 20-21 of the Relief Shopping Center, which is right near the GPO. If you know that area, you know it’s always packed with people and there’s hardly any place to park. It’s one of those older shopping centers that stays busy from morning until late at night. We’ve been running Bela Medical Agencies from here for quite a while. Our day usually starts early, getting the shutters up and seeing what orders came in overnight. It’s a medical agency, so we have boxes of various medicines stacked up pretty high. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze inside sometimes, especially when a new delivery comes in and we have to find room for everything. The air is always full of the sound of the market outside. We don't have a website or anything like that; we just work with the local chemists and doctors who know where we are. It’s a very manual process. We write things down, check the stock, and get the deliveries ready for the cycle rickshaws or scooters to take away. It can be a bit chaotic during the peak hours, but we have a system that works for us. It’s just an honest living in a very busy part of the city. We’ve known some of our customers for years, and they just stop by for a chat while they wait for their parcels. We usually close up when the sun goes down.
