Ghanshyam Clinic

Ghanshyam Clinic is tucked away on Sanghediya Bazar Road in Savarkundla. It’s right in the middle of the market area, so there’s always the sound of people bargaining and carts moving around outside our door. We opened up here because it’s where everyone in town naturally ends up during the day for their chores. The clinic itself is quite small and simple. We have a few wooden benches for people to sit on while they wait their turn to see us. It’s mostly general health stuff we deal with, like fevers or coughs or the usual things that go around the bazaar. We know most of the people who come in by name since Savarkundla isn't that big of a place. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we haven't gotten around to doing that yet. Our main focus is just seeing the patients and making sure they have what they need to get better. There’s a lot of dust from the road that comes in when the door is open, so we are always dusting off the desk and the shelves. It’s a very local feel here, not like those sterile clinics in the big cities. We don't have a computer system that works all the time, so we still write a lot of things down in big registers. It’s just the way we’ve always done it. People stop by even just to say hello sometimes while they’re doing their shopping on Bazar Road. It’s a busy, dusty, and honest place.
