Sanskar Dayal Clinic

The clinic is tucked away on Old Tahsil Road in the Matkota area of Sikandra Rao. It is a small place, nothing like those big city hospitals you see on TV. We are right on the road, so there's usually a motorbike or two parked out front. Inside, it’s just a few rooms where we see people who walk in from the surrounding streets. The floors are tiled and we keep them as clean as we can, though dust from the road always finds its way in. We have a small desk where the registration happens and a bench for people to sit while they wait. It’s mostly locals who come here, people who have lived in Sikandra Rao their whole lives. We know a lot of the families by their names. The pace of work is steady but not usually frantic. We spend a lot of time just talking to folks and hearing about what’s bothering them. There aren't any big glowing signs or fancy digital displays here. It’s just a basic clinic where we do the everyday work of looking after people's health. Some days are quieter than others, especially when it’s very hot outside. We’ve been on Old Tahsil Road for a good bit now, and we’ve become a regular part of the morning routine for the shops nearby. It’s a simple life and a simple way of running a clinic. We just open up the doors and see who needs help today.
