Ntpc Sanjivani Hospital

Our hospital sits in Shaktinagar, Sonebhadra, right in that corner of Uttar Pradesh. It is a long way from the big cities, so we have to be pretty self-reliant out here. The address is 231222, if you are looking at a map. It is an Ntpc Sanjivani Hospital, which means we mostly look after the people working at the power plant and their relatives. The heat in Sonebhadra can be really something in the summer, so we keep the fans going all day long. The hospital building is a solid structure that has seen a lot of years. We have a pharmacy and several wards for patients to stay in. It is a bit of a trek for some people to get here, but it is the main place for miles around. We don't have anything fancy or modern like you see in those private hospitals in the big cities. It is just a practical place with white walls and metal beds. We do our best with what we have. Most of the nurses and doctors live right here in the township. We see each other at the market or in the evenings. It makes the work feel more personal. We handle everything from minor cuts to more serious stuff that happens at the plant. It is a quiet life in Shaktinagar, and the hospital is just another part of the daily rhythm here. We close up most sections at night but someone is always around. (252 words)
