Base Hospital

Base Hospital is on Hospital Road, right near the Delhi Cantonment Railway Station. You can actually hear the trains pulling in and out if you stand near the back windows. Being in the Delhi Cantonment area gives the place a bit of a different feel, as there are always people in uniform around the neighborhood. The road outside can get very busy with taxis and rickshaws dropping people off for the train. Inside the hospital, things are usually kept quite orderly. We have a lot of space, but it still feels full because so many people are passing through this part of Delhi. The hallways are long and painted a light color to make them look brighter. We spend a lot of our time directing people who are lost or looking for a specific ward. The staff here is used to the fast pace of the city. We have a routine for everything, from how the charts are filed to when the floors are cleaned. It’s not a place with a lot of decorations; it’s more about being functional. We see a lot of travelers who might need something while they are near the station, as well as the locals who live in the cantonment. We just show up, do the shifts, and keep things running as best as we can given how many people come through the doors every day. It’s hard work but we are used to the noise and the busy schedule of Delhi life.
