Tb & Chest Hospital Goa Medical College

Out here on Street Inez in Caranzalem, the Tb & Chest Hospital is part of the Goa Medical College setup. It’s an older place, and you can tell by looking at the walls and the way the windows are built. We get a lot of people coming in with various lung issues or persistent coughs. It’s not the most cheerful work, but it’s necessary for the community. The salt air from the coast sometimes makes the metal parts of the beds a bit rusty, no matter how much we clean them. It’s just the way things are in Goa. The staff here is mostly local, and we’ve all been working together for quite some time now. We don't have those fancy digital check-in screens; we still use a lot of paper and clipboards to keep track of everyone. It can get a bit humid in the wards during the monsoon season, but we manage. The doctors are usually going from one ward to another, and the nurses have their hands full with the morning rounds. It’s a public facility, so there’s always a crowd and sometimes things move a bit slower than people might like. We do our best to keep things organized despite the volume of patients. It’s a place that stays busy from sunrise to sunset. We aren’t trying to be a luxury resort; we are just here to treat chest problems and get people breathing a bit easier again.
