Kanchi Kamakodi Child Trust Hospital

This hospital is located at No 12A Nagaeswara Road in Nungambakkam. It’s a pretty well-known spot in the area because we’ve been here for quite some time. Nungambakkam is always bustling, and Nagaeswara Road is no different. We have parents coming in from all over, some taking the bus and some walking from the nearby streets. The building itself has seen a lot of years. It’s a Trust hospital, so things are run a bit differently than those expensive private places. We focus on getting the kids seen as quickly as we can. The hallways can get a bit cramped when it’s busy, and there’s always the sound of children crying or playing. Our nurses and doctors are just regular people who work long shifts. We drink a lot of coffee from the nearby stalls to keep going. The furniture isn't the newest, and the lights sometimes flicker, but the equipment is what matters. We deal with a lot of paperwork every single day. It’s not a glamorous job, but it feels right to be here in Nungambakkam. We know the security guards and the folks who sell flowers down the street. It’s a tight-knit community in its own way. We just keep our heads down and do the tasks on our lists. Every day is different, but the goal is always just to finish the day’s work and help the families who come to see us.
