Sanjeevani Clinic

Sanjeevani Clinic is situated right in Itwara Bazar, over in the Camp area. Market days are the busiest because the whole street is filled with people buying vegetables and clothes. You can hear the shouting of the vendors from inside our rooms. The clinic has been here long enough that the front sign is starting to fade a little bit. We have a heavy wooden door that stays open during the day to let some air in. Inside, it’s mostly just the essentials. We have a scale for weighing people that’s been here since we opened. It still works perfectly fine. The floor is made of old stone that stays cool even when it’s hot outside. People from the bazar often stop in after they finish their shopping. We get a lot of workers from the local shops too. It’s a very down-to-earth kind of place. There is no receptionist with a headset, just one of us sitting at the front desk with a notebook. We write down names as they come. Sometimes we run out of space in the ledger and have to start a new one mid-week. It’s a bit chaotic during the peak hours, but we manage to get through the list. It feels good to be right in the middle of all that activity in Camp. We’re just a small part of the daily bustle. After we lock up, the market is usually still going for a while longer.
