Aarogyam Hospital & Medical College

This facility is out in Village Karondi, which is in the Bhagwanpur area near Roorkee. Being in the Haridwar district, we get a lot of people coming in from the surrounding countryside. It is a large place because it serves as both a hospital and a medical college for students learning the trade. There is always a lot of activity with young people carrying books and doctors moving between the wards. It’s not like those small city clinics. Here, there are different wings and plenty of hallways. The grounds are quite open since we are away from the main city center. You see a lot of families waiting outside under the trees or in the corridors. It can be a bit overwhelming if you aren't used to the size of it. We have the hospital side where the patients stay and the college side where the classrooms are. It’s a lot of work keeping a place this big going every day. The air is a bit fresher out here in Karondi than it is in the middle of town. We have a lot of staff, from the teachers to the nurses and the cleaning crews. It's a functional place. People come here because it’s the main spot for medical help in this part of Bhagwanpur. It isn't shiny or new, but it's where the work gets done for the village and the nearby towns. We see all kinds of cases every single day.
