Sania Clinic

If you find the police station in Nowda, you’ve pretty much found Sania Clinic. We are right near it, which makes it easy to give directions to people who haven't been here before. Nowda is the kind of place where everyone sort of knows where everything is anyway. Our clinic is a straightforward operation. We don’t have a big sign with flashing lights or anything like that. It’s just a door and a place to sit down. The walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but we spend most of our time actually working rather than worrying about the decor. Most of our patients live within walking distance, so there is a lot of "hello" and "how is your mother" going on in the waiting area. It gets a bit loud when the station nearby is busy, but that’s just part of being in this part of town. We open up early and usually stay until the last person is seen. It’s a lot of standing around and talking, really. Some days are slow and we just sit and drink tea until someone walks in. Other days, it’s a constant stream of people needing help. We don't have any fancy computer systems for check-ins, just a logbook and a pen. It works well enough for us. It’s just a local clinic doing what it can for the folks around Nowda. We just try to keep things moving.
