Dishan Chest Clinic

Dishan Chest Clinic is situated in Pammam, Marthandam, which is part of the Vilavancode area. It’s a bit of a distance from the bigger cities, so things move at a different speed here. The clinic is a modest building that fits right into the neighborhood. We have a small porch where people sometimes sit if the waiting room is full. Inside, it’s mostly just white walls and wooden furniture. We have a lot of windows to let the breeze in because it can get quite warm in Vilavancode. The sound of the birds and the occasional tractor passing by is what we hear most of the day. We don't have a digital check-in system or anything like that. You just walk in and talk to us. We write everything down in big registers with blue ink. The clinic has been a part of Pammam for a long time, and we know the families around here very well. Sometimes someone will bring us some fruit from their garden when they come for a visit. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment, just the essentials that we need to do our work. It’s a quiet life, and we are happy to be there for the local community in this corner of the world. Every evening, we lock up the heavy wooden door and head home. It’s just a regular, honest place for the people of Marthandam in Vilavancode.
