Sheetal Children Hospital

You can find us in the Aero View building, which is right behind Hotel Sahara on L B S Marg. It’s a noisy part of Kurla West because of all the traffic, but once you come inside the hospital, it’s a bit quieter. We have units 1 through 4 on the ground floor. Being a children’s hospital means there is almost always a bit of noise, whether it’s a baby crying or kids running around the hallway when they feel better. We have some stickers on the walls to make it look a bit more cheerful, though they are starting to peel at the edges. The staff here has been around for a long time, so we all know how the machines work and where everything is kept. We spend a lot of our time filling out charts and checking on the kids in the beds. Sometimes parents get worried, so we sit with them for a bit. The building itself is an older cooperative housing society, so it has that lived-in feel. We keep the floors scrubbed and the medicine cabinets locked. At night, the lights from the street outside reflect off the windows and the traffic on L B S Marg never really stops. It’s a busy life working in Kurla West, and there is never really a dull moment. We just focus on getting through the patient list and making sure everyone gets their medicine on time. It is a lot of responsibility, but we just do it day by day.
