Maladar Hospital

Maladar Hospital is located in the Eranjhipalam area of Kozhikode. It’s a place where we see a lot of the same faces because many people in this part of Kozhikode have been coming here for a long time. The hospital isn't hard to find if you know Eranjhipalam well. We have a regular routine that starts early in the morning when the first staff members arrive to unlock the doors. The floors are tiled and a bit cold underfoot in the rainy season. We have benches in the corridors where people wait, and you can often hear the murmur of conversations as families talk among themselves. It’s a very local feel. We don't use much fancy technology for the check-in, just the usual registers and a computer that sometimes runs a bit slow. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but they are clean enough for now. We focus on getting people into the rooms and making sure the doctors have what they need. Outside, the Kozhikode weather can be quite humid, so the fans inside are always running at full speed. It's a humble sort of place, not like those giant medical centers you see in the bigger cities. We just keep our heads down and do the work that needs doing here at Maladar Hospital in Eranjhipalam. It is just a normal part of the town.
