Lady Willingdon Hospital

Up here in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, you'll find Lady Willingdon Hospital in Manali. It's a bit of a different pace of life compared to the big cities. We’ve been situated in this mountain area for a very long time. The hospital is a familiar sight for the locals and the people who come through the valley. Because we're in the hills, things are a bit different here. We deal with whatever comes our way, from local residents to tourists who might get into a bit of trouble while trekking. The building has a lot of history to it. It’s not a modern glass structure; it’s more solid and practical for the weather we get. Our team lives in the area, so we know the challenges of the terrain and the climate. We don’t have a big marketing budget or anything. We just keep the doors open and the beds ready. Sometimes the snow makes things difficult, but we manage to keep things running. It’s an honest place where we focus on getting people back on their feet. We see a lot of different cases because we are one of the main spots in this part of the district. We don't make big promises; we just do the work that needs doing every day. It’s a quiet kind of life, mostly, until it isn’t. We like being part of the community here in the mountains.
