Christian Medical College & Hospital

Our spot at Christian Medical College & Hospital on Brown Road is pretty well-known to anyone who has lived here for a while. It’s a big, greyish building that stands out because of its size and the number of people always hovering around the front gates. We don’t really go in for much fancy talk about what we do. It’s just a hospital where people go when they have a problem. The interior is functional, with tile floors that have been scuffed by thousands of shoes over the years. We keep the place as clean as we can, but it’s a constant battle with the dust from the road. Working here means you get used to the rhythm of the street outside. Brown Road is always moving, and so are we. Our staff rooms are small and filled with lockers and half-empty coffee mugs. We aren't corporate people with polished speeches. We are just folks who know how to handle a thermometer and a clipboard. Sometimes the wait times get a bit long, and we feel bad about that, but we just take one person at a time. The older doctors here have a lot of stories about how the hospital used to be much smaller. Now it feels like a city of its own. We just try to keep things simple and make sure everyone gets seen eventually. It’s just a normal part of life here on Brown Road.
