Dr. Prafulchandra Manudhane, Ranala, Nandurbar

Our clinic has been sitting here on 42 Main Road in Ranala for a while now. Dr. Prafulchandra Manudhane started this practice because Nandurbar is home and it felt right to set up shop where people actually needed a local doctor they could talk to. If you walk down the main road, you can’t really miss us. It is a simple building, nothing too fancy, just the way we like it. We spend most of our days seeing folks from around the neighborhood who drop in with all sorts of health stuff. Sometimes the waiting room gets a bit crowded, especially in the mornings when everyone tries to beat the heat, but we try to get through things at a steady pace. Being in Ranala means we know most of our patients by their first names or at least recognize their faces from the market. It is not like those big city hospitals where everything feels cold and like a factory. Here, we just deal with what comes through the door. The furniture in the front office is a bit old now and the fan makes a little clicking noise sometimes, but it does the job. We keep things straightforward because that is how life is here in this part of Nandurbar. There isn’t much more to say other than we are open most days and we do our best to help out whoever walks in from the street.
