Hakeem Rais Unani Medical College And Hospital Sambhal

Our place is in Sambhal, specifically in the Makdoompur area along the road that goes between Moradabad and Bahjoi. It’s a medical college and a hospital focused on Unani medicine. It’s a bit of an old-school atmosphere here. We have the hospital wing where people come in for traditional treatments, and then we have the classrooms for the students. The location is right on the margin of the road, so it’s easy for people to find us, but it also means there's a lot of dust and noise from the passing trucks. Stocks of herbs and different materials for Unani medicines are always around, so there’s often a particular smell in the air—not bad, just different. The students here are quite dedicated, and you’ll see them studying in the courtyards. We don't have any flashy modern architecture. It’s a sturdy, functional building that has seen a lot of use over the years. We spend our days balancing the needs of the patients with the schedule of the college. Sometimes the waiting room gets really packed, and we have to scramble to find enough chairs. It’s an honest way to spend the day, helping people with traditional healing. We aren't trying to impress anyone with big words; we just provide the care and the education that the local community expects from us. It gets busy, but we stick to our routine and get the work done.
