Jivraj Mehta Hospital

The hospital is situated on Dr Jivraj Mehta Marg, not far from Ayojan Nagar in the Vasna area. It’s a well-known spot in this part of Ahmedabad. The building is quite large and has been here for a long time, so it has that lived-in feel. We have different departments spread out across the floors, but the main entrance is usually where you see the most activity. There are always people coming and going, and the security guards at the gate have a busy job directing traffic. Inside, it can be a bit of a maze with all the different corridors and signs. We have a lot of benches in the hallways because there’s always a crowd waiting for their turn. The lighting is that bright fluorescent kind that you find in most public buildings. Our staff is mostly local, so there’s a lot of Gujarati being spoken in the break rooms. We don't go in for anything flashy. The focus is just on the daily tasks of seeing patients, changing bandages, and filling out forms. It’s a lot of hard work and long hours, especially during the monsoon when more people get sick. We try to keep the windows open when it’s not too dusty to let some air in. It’s a busy, functional place that serves the people of Vasna and the surrounding neighborhoods without making a big deal out of it.
