Taluk Hospital

The Taluk Hospital in Muvattupuzha is located right in the middle of town and it has been a staple for the local people for many years. Muvattupuzha is a place where three rivers meet and you can feel that humidity in the air most days at the hospital. Our building isn't the newest one on the block but it serves its purpose for the hundreds of people who walk through the doors every morning. We have a small parking area that is always crammed with motorcycles and the occasional ambulance trying to get through. The registration desk is the first thing you see and there is usually a line forming before we even open up. We have a lot of staff members who have lived in this town their whole lives so they know almost everyone who comes in. The walls have some charts and posters about health that have been there for ages and the edges are starting to curl up. We don't have a big marketing team or anyone to make the place look shiny and new for photos. It’s just a practical place where we do our jobs and try to help people feel a bit better. In the afternoons things quiet down a little and we can hear the birds in the trees outside the windows. It’s just a regular local hospital doing the best it can with what we have for the community.
