Gaitondes Clinic

Our clinic is located at House Number 187 in Kalina, right across from the municipal school. It’s a lively spot because of all the kids running around during the day. We’ve been part of the Santacruz East neighborhood for years. The space itself is straightforward. There’s a desk where we keep the files and a few chairs for people to sit while they wait their turn. It’s not a large place, but it serves the local families around here. Being in a cooperative housing society means we know most of the neighbors. Sometimes the fans make a bit of noise, and the lighting is just standard tube lights, but it does the job. We open up in the morning and stay until the last person is seen in the evening. There is no big sign outside, just the name so people don't get lost. The street gets pretty jammed with rickshaws sometimes, especially when school lets out. Inside, it’s mostly just the sound of the clock and people chatting quietly. We handle things as they come. It’s a very practical setup. We don't use much technology for the paperwork; it's mostly notebooks and folders. We just try to keep things moving so nobody has to wait too long out in the heat. It feels like a proper old-school neighborhood clinic where everyone knows each other’s names and we don't need any fancy systems to get through the day.
