Chellam Hospital

Chellam Hospital is situated on Madambakkam Main Road. If you know the Madambakkam area, you probably pass by us quite often. The street is usually lined with shops and people going about their daily business. Our building isn't the newest on the block, but it serves its purpose. Inside, the walls are painted a simple off-white and there are rows of chairs for people to sit while they wait. We see a lot of families from the neighborhood. Some of the kids who first came here are grown up now. The front desk staff has been around for a long time, so they know most of the regulars by name. It’s a busy environment, especially during the monsoon when everyone seems to be coming in at once. We keep the fans running most of the day because it gets quite stuffy. The doctors have their rooms down the narrow hallway. It’s not a huge place, but we use the space we have. There’s always someone cleaning or moving equipment around. We don’t do much advertising; word of mouth in Madambakkam keeps us busy enough. Sometimes the water delivery is late or the internet acts up, but we manage. It’s just a normal part of running a local hospital here. Every day is different, but the routine of checking people in and out stays the same. We try to keep the atmosphere calm even when things get hectic outside.
