Jyothi Hospital

Our hospital is over at 32 Gandhi Road in West Tambaram. If you know the area, you know that Gandhi Road is one of those places that never really sleeps. There is always someone walking by or a car trying to find a parking spot. We are right in the thick of it. The building is a solid structure that has stood through many seasons. We have a few floors where we handle different things, and the elevator can be a bit slow on busy mornings. Most of our staff takes the train into West Tambaram and then walks over. We’ve become a bit of a landmark for people giving directions. Inside, it’s mostly just white walls and tile floors that we spend a lot of time mopping. We keep the waiting area as comfortable as we can with some old plastic chairs and a few fans that hum all day. It gets hot in the afternoons, so those fans are pretty important. We see a lot of local families who have been coming to us for generations. It’s not a high-tech looking place, just a regular hospital where we do our shifts and go home. We talk about our families during the quiet moments and share lunch in the small breakroom in the back. It’s just a normal part of the West Tambaram community, nothing more and nothing less. We just keep doing our work every day, helping folks who come in with all kinds of basic health troubles.
