Meenakshi Mission Hospital Madurai

This place stays busy around the clock. We are located on Abirami Street in New Vilangudi, and there is always someone coming through the doors. It is a hospital, so you can imagine it is never really quiet. You hear the wheels of stretchers on the tiles and the constant paging of doctors over the speakers. I have seen the halls at three in the morning when it is just the night staff and the dim lights, and it feels very different then. We have a lot of rooms and many beds, and every single one usually has someone in it. The families wait in the corridors, sometimes sleeping on the chairs because they want to stay close to their loved ones. It is a lot of hard work for the nurses and the cleaning staff who are always wiping down surfaces to keep things hygienic. We deal with everything from small scrapes to much bigger health issues every day. Sometimes it feels a bit overwhelming when the waiting room is full, but we just take it one person at a time. The location in Madurai is easy enough for people to find, but the parking can be a bit of a headache during peak hours. It is not a fancy hotel; it is a working hospital where things are practical and focused on getting people back on their feet. There is a lot of tea consumed in the breakroom to keep us all going through the shifts.
