M.V. Hospital For Diabetes

Down on West Madha Street in Royapuram, you’ll find our hospital at number four. It is an old part of the city, and our building fits right in with the rest of the street. Dealing with diabetes is what we do here every single day. The morning starts with people coming in for their blood tests before they’ve even had breakfast. You can hear the sounds of the street outside—the bikes, the vendors, and the general noise of Royapuram. Inside, it is a bit quieter, but not by much. We have patients who have been coming to us for decades. They bring their children and even their grandchildren now. It is a bit of a maze inside if you are not used to it. There are different counters for different things. We try to keep the queues moving, but sometimes the paperwork takes a bit of time. Our staff is mostly from around here, so they speak the local language and know how things work in this part of town. We don’t have any fancy glass walls or big signs. It is just a practical place for people to manage their health. Sometimes the waiting room gets hot when the power goes out, but we just keep going. People know where to find us. We are just a phone call away if someone has a question about their sugar levels or their medicine. The gate is usually open by six in the morning.
