V M Deo Memorial Hospital

We are located at Plot No 64 in Shivaji Nagar, right near Lad College Square. If you know the area, you know how busy that intersection gets during the day. The hospital has been here for a good while, and the building shows its age in a few places, but it’s sturdy. Being near the college means we get a lot of students coming in for various things, along with the regular residents of Shivaji Nagar. The lobby is usually a bit noisy because of the college crowd and the traffic outside. We have a few different floors, and the elevator can be a bit slow on rainy days, so most of us just take the stairs. The nurses are always running around, especially during the shift changes at eight in the morning and evening. We keep a lot of chairs in the hallway for families who are waiting, though there’s never quite enough when things get really hectic. The canteen downstairs mostly serves tea and basic snacks, and the smell of ginger tea usually drifts up to the first floor by mid-afternoon. It’s a lot of work keeping a place this size running, especially with the constant flow of people through the doors. We don’t really do much advertising; people just know we’re here by the square. It’s a practical place for folks to come when they need help, and we just try to keep things moving as best as we can every day.
