Manoshri Childrens Hospital

We’ve been here in Porvorim for a while now, right at Keni House. Being opposite Alcon Regency on National Highway 17 means it’s pretty easy to find us, though the traffic outside can get a bit loud during the rush hour. It’s a children’s hospital, so you can imagine it’s rarely quiet inside either. There’s usually a child crying or someone running around the waiting area. We try to keep things organized, but when you’re dealing with sick kids and worried parents, things just get a bit hectic. The walls have some drawings on them to make it look less like a sterile hospital and more like a place where a kid might feel okay. We spend most of our days checking temperatures, writing out prescriptions, and explaining things to moms and dads who haven't slept much. It’s a lot of work keeping up with the kids from all over the area. Sometimes the fans make a little clicking noise, and the reception desk is always piled with files that need filing. We don’t have any fancy lobby or a coffee shop, just a few chairs and the doctors who stay late most nights. It’s just how it is here. We focus on getting the little ones feeling better so they can go home. That’s the main thing we do every day from morning until we finally lock up the doors at night.
