Av Hospital

Av Hospital is located at No 172 Solaiyappan Street in Old Washermenpet. If you’ve ever walked down Solaiyappan Street, you know it’s a tight, busy area in Chennai where there is always something happening. The hospital has been part of this street for quite a while now. It’s a bit of an old building, but it serves the people who live in the surrounding lanes quite well. Getting here can be a bit of a challenge if the traffic is heavy, which it usually is in this part of town. We see a lot of local families who have been living in Old Washermenpet for generations. The staff knows most of the regular faces who pass by the front door. It’s a noisy neighborhood with scooters buzzing past and people calling out to each other, but once you step inside, things settle down a little bit. We keep things pretty simple here. There aren't any fancy lobbies or high-tech screens everywhere, just rooms and desks and people doing their jobs. We spend our days checking on patients and making sure the supplies are stocked up. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to deal with that, which is just part of living and working in Chennai. We’re just a regular group of people trying to keep this place going for the folks who need us on this street, and we appreciate everyone who stops by.
