Saraswati Hospital

Saraswati Hospital is located right on Girdharpur Road in Chhaprola, directly across from the big Bsnl Tower. That tower is a useful landmark because everyone knows where it is. The hospital itself is a modest building that has served this area for a long time. We get people coming in from all over Chhaprola and the smaller settlements nearby. The road outside can be quite dusty, especially during the dry months when the wind picks up, so we are constantly cleaning the front steps. I usually get the keys out and open the front gate by eight o’clock. Our staff is local, so we all talk about the same local news and the weather while we work. We have a small pharmacy inside and a few rooms for patients who need to stay longer. It isn't like those massive city hospitals where everything feels cold and professional. Here, it’s a bit more relaxed. We know a lot of the patients by their first names. Sometimes the waiting room gets a bit crowded on market days, and people end up chatting while they wait for their turn. We don't have a big marketing budget or a fancy website to show off. We just rely on the fact that we are here on Girdharpur Road every day. It’s a busy but simple life, and we just focus on making sure the equipment is working and the patients are being looked after.
