Sasthalaya Hospital

Sasthalaya Hospital is over at No 27 Pushpa Nagar 1st Street in Nungambakkam. If you know Chennai, you know Nungambakkam can get pretty crowded and hot. Our street, Pushpa Nagar, is tucked away a bit but it still gets its fair share of traffic. There are a lot of houses and small businesses all around us. The building is a typical one for this part of the city. It’s not a massive skyscraper. We have a few floors and the stairs are a bit narrow. You can hear the sounds of the neighborhood all day long, from the vegetable sellers to the motorbikes zooming past. The 1st Street is where we have been for a while. Inside, it’s a bit plain. We have the usual hospital chairs and the white walls that could probably use a fresh coat of paint soon. We don’t really go for anything flashy. The people who come here are mostly from the local area or work in the nearby offices. It’s a very down-to-earth place. The air conditioning works hard during the afternoon heat. We have a small area for records and a place for people to wait. It’s not a corporate environment at all. It feels more like a local clinic that grew a bit bigger over time. We just take things as they come and handle the daily rush of patients. It’s a busy life in Nungambakkam, and we are just a part of it.
