Aastha Lok Hospital

We are situated at N/4 Professor Colony in Kankarbagh. It’s a pretty well-known spot because we’re right near Kendriya Vidyalaya. When school lets out in the afternoon, the whole street gets packed with kids and rickshaws, so it can be a bit of a mess outside for an hour or so. The hospital itself is a solid building in the colony. It doesn’t look like anything special from the outside. Inside, it’s mostly just white walls and tile floors. We have a few benches for people to wait on, and usually, there’s a TV playing some news or a movie in the background to pass the time. We aren’t a huge institution. It’s more of a community feel where people recognize the nurses and the gatekeeper. Sometimes the plumbing acts up, or we need to change a lightbulb that’s flickering in the hallway. It’s just a normal, functioning hospital. We have a small pharmacy area that’s always got someone waiting for their medicine. The air conditioning works okay but some rooms stay warmer than others during the summer. We don't have a big corporate office; the manager sits in a small room near the entrance. It’s an honest place where we try to keep up with the daily flow of patients. We’ve been in Kankarbagh long enough to feel like we belong to the neighborhood. We just do the best we can every single day.
