Panday Clinic

Panday Clinic is situated right at Gandhi Chowk in Baihar. We are located on the Major District Road, which means there is always someone passing by on their way into or out of town. Balaghat is a bit of a distance, so we serve a lot of the local community right here in Baihar. The clinic is a modest setup. A few wooden benches are there for people to sit on while they wait. The walls are painted a pale color that’s faded a bit over the years. It gets dusty because of the road being so close, but we try to keep the inside clean. Most of the people who come in are farmers or shopkeepers from the nearby stalls. We know most of them by name by now. It’s not a quiet place, as you can always hear the tractors and the chatter from Gandhi Chowk. Our small staff makes sure everything is handled. The door stays open most of the day to let in a breeze, though in the summer it just lets in the heat. There’s a small desk where we keep the patient registers. Everything is written down by hand in big ledgers. It’s a simple way of working, but it has functioned for us for a long time. People stop by for small things and sometimes just to say hello on their way to the market.
