Dhanwantari Hospital & Research Centre

Down here on D L Vaidya Road in Dadar West, things are always moving. We are tucked right behind Shiv Sena Bhavan, which is a landmark everyone in this part of Mumbai knows. It’s a busy street, and you can hear the traffic and the people all day long. This hospital has been part of the Shivaji Park area for a long time. It’s not a shiny new glass building, but it’s sturdy and we keep it clean. We have the research side of things too, which keeps the doctors busy when they aren't seeing patients. Dealing with health issues in such a crowded city can be a lot, but we just take it one person at a time. The staff here mostly lives nearby or commutes in on the local trains like everyone else. We don’t have any big speeches to give. We just open up in the morning, handle the paperwork, and see who needs help. Sometimes it gets loud outside with the rallies or just the general Dadar chaos, but inside we try to keep things steady. It’s a practical place for practical people. If you’re walking past the Shiv Sena Bhavan, you just head around the back and you’ll find us. We’ve been through many monsoons in this building, and we’re still here doing what we do every day. It is just a regular hospital trying to help the community in Dadar. We don't bother with fancy stuff, just work.
