Addis Hospital & Research Centre, Ethopia

Our place is located at Bg-5A, 18C in Paschim Vihar. It's a residential sort of area, so it stays relatively quiet compared to the main roads of Delhi. We started Addis Hospital & Research Centre, Ethopia with the idea of having a local spot where people could actually get some help without traveling for hours. The building isn't huge, but we make use of every square inch we have. Sometimes the waiting area gets a bit cramped, especially on Monday mornings when everyone seems to come in at once. We have a small staff here, and most of us have been working together for a few years. It feels more like a small community than a big institution. We handle all sorts of things throughout the day. Sometimes people just walk in with questions, and we do what we can to point them in the right direction. The research side of things keeps a few of us tucked away in the back rooms most of the time. It’s a lot of paperwork and looking at data, which isn't always exciting but it’s what we do. We try to keep the floors clean and the lights on, keeping things running as smoothly as possible. There’s a tea stall just down the road where we usually grab a quick break when things settle down. It’s just a regular local operation for the folks living around here.
