P A P Hospital

The P A P Hospital is right at Gate No 4 in the Jalandhar Cantt. If you’re looking for us, that’s the easiest way to find the building. We’ve been operating out of this spot for a long time now. It’s a workplace that feels lived in. There are always people sitting on the benches outside waiting for their turn or for news about their family members. We don't have those big shiny lobbies like you see in the city malls. It is more of a functional space. The desks are a bit worn down at the edges and the files are stacked high because we still do things the old way mostly. During the rainy season, the sound on the roof is quite loud. Our team is just a bunch of regular people from the neighborhood and surrounding areas. We show up, put on our uniforms, and do what needs doing until the shift ends. It can get tiring when the wards are full, but that is the nature of the work. You get used to the smell of disinfectant and the constant noise of the fans. It’s not the quietest place, but it’s where we spend most of our lives. We know the tea seller outside Gate No 4 pretty well by now. We just try to keep things organized so that everyone who walks in eventually gets to go home.
