Gsnm Diabetes Clinic & Research Centre

Our clinic, Gsnm Diabetes Clinic & Research Centre, is over at 78 Hanuman Nagar in Kankarbagh. Kankarbagh is a massive residential area in Patna, and Hanuman Nagar is one of those spots where there is always something going on. We focused on diabetes because we saw so many people in the neighborhood struggling with it. The clinic is a simple setup on a residential street. It’s not very loud inside, which is good because we spend a lot of time talking to people about their diets and checking their sugar levels. We have some charts on the walls and a few desks for the staff. People from all over Kankarbagh come here for their regular checkups. Sometimes the street outside gets a little congested with cars and rickshaws, especially in the evenings. We keep a log of everyone who comes in, and we know many of our patients by their first names. It’s a regular routine here. We have a small area where we do some basic research, just keeping track of how things are changing for people. It isn't a high-tech lab you see in movies, just some computers and files in a back room. We try to keep things honest and straightforward. If the wait is long, people usually just chat with each other about their families or the local news. It’s a very grounded place to work.
