Life Hospitals & Biotech

Number 17 in Mehar Chand Market is where we are located. Lodhi Road is right there, so it is a very central part of the city. Being in the market means there is always noise outside. You can hear cars honking and people shouting at the stalls nearby. The building is an older one, typical for this area. We have our hospital area and then the biotech side where the lab work happens. There are a lot of glass tubes and machines that beep occasionally. It is a bit cramped sometimes when we get a lot of deliveries. The staff usually brings lunch from home and eats in the back room because the market food is expensive to eat every day. We have been here for a while now, so the neighbors at the other shops know us well. The morning starts with opening the shutters and cleaning the front entrance. We spend a lot of time looking at samples or talking to patients who walk in from the street. It is not a shiny corporate office. There are stacks of papers on the desks and sometimes the internet acts up. We use the back stairs mostly. In the winter, it gets quite cold inside those high-ceilinged rooms, so we all wear thick sweaters. People come here for all sorts of tests. We just go about our work and try to stay organized in the middle of the market chaos.
