Giridhari Lal Hospital

Giridhari Lal Hospital is right there at Ajmere Gate. If you know the area, you know how packed it gets with the traffic and the markets. Being at this location means there is never a dull moment. The building is older, and you can see the history in the walls and the high ceilings. It’s a hospital that’s been part of the landscape for a long time. People come in from all the narrow lanes around the gate. We have our regular rhythm here, even when the noise from the street outside gets really loud. The hallways are usually full of people waiting or family members bringing in food. We don't have the shiny, new look of the hospitals in the suburbs, but we have everything we need to take care of the people who live in this part of the city. The staff knows the shortcuts through the building and which windows to open to get a bit of a breeze. It’s a very practical place. We focus on the work, from the early morning shifts until late at night. The gate area is a crossroads for so many, and we’re just one of the stops along the way. It’s often dusty outside, and the tea stall nearby is where most of us get our breaks. It’s just life at Ajmere Gate for us at the hospital. We keep the floors clean and the beds ready for whoever needs them next.
