Bihar-Max International Hospital Private Limited

Our hospital is out in the Satgharva village area of Bodhgaya. Even though we have "International" in our name, we are very much a local Gaya operation. The road out here can be a bit bumpy, and it’s a far cry from the fancy hotels in the main part of Bodhgaya where the tourists go. We are surrounded by fields and small houses. The building is large enough to handle a good number of people, but it doesn't feel like a factory. We have a lot of space around us, which is nice compared to the cramped hospitals in Patna. In the winter, it gets quite cold out here in the open, and in the summer, the Gaya heat is really something else. We keep the coolers running as much as we can. Most of our patients are farmers or people from the local village who don't want to travel all the way into the city for every little thing. We do see some travelers sometimes because of where we are located. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed for a hospital. We don't have strict uniforms that are bleached white every day; we just wear what is practical for the work. There is a lot of walking involved because the facility is spread out. We just try to keep things simple and honest. If we can't fix something, we tell people straight. It’s just a regular hospital doing its job in the middle of rural Bihar.
