Amarjeet Singh Thind

If you are heading toward Nakodar, you will find us out in Mehatpur at Daoba Hospital. Amarjeet Singh Thind has been working in this area for a long while. The hospital sits right there in the V P O- Mehatpur area, which is a bit of a drive from Jalandhar but it’s where we are needed most. The 144040 zip code covers a lot of ground, and we see people coming in from all the surrounding villages. It gets quite busy on Monday mornings especially. We don't have those fancy automated systems you see in the city hospitals. Usually, someone just writes your name down in a big ledger when you walk in. The waiting room has these old wooden chairs that have been around since the place opened. They are sturdy enough though. We keep the fans running all day to deal with the heat. It’s a practical setup. There is no point in having a lot of decorations when there are patients to see. We try to keep things moving so nobody has to sit around all day. Sometimes the power goes out, and we have to switch over to the generator, which makes a lot of noise. Everyone in Mehatpur knows where we are. We don't really need a big sign on the road. Most people just follow the directions from their neighbors. It’s a community thing here. We just do our daily work and hope everyone goes home feeling a bit better after visiting us.
