Hindu Mission Hospital

No. 103 G.S.T Road in Tambaram is where you’ll find us. That road is one of the busiest around, so there is never a quiet moment. The hospital has been a part of this area for a long time. People recognize the building as soon as they see it. Inside, it’s a lot of walking. The floors are made of that old stone that stays cool under your feet, which is nice in the heat. We have nurses and assistants running around all the time. It’s a big operation but it feels a bit like a small town because so many of the patients know each other. You see people sitting out on the benches near the entrance, waiting for their rides or just catching some air. The smell of the canteen food sometimes wafts through the lower levels. It’s not a five-star hotel, it’s a mission hospital, so things are basic and functional. We don't spend money on fancy rugs or expensive lights. We just have what is necessary to keep the place running. The fans on the ceiling are old and they click while they spin. It’s just a part of the atmosphere here. Everyone is just trying to get through their shift and make sure the people in the beds are okay. It’s a lot of hard work but it’s just life on the GST Road.
