Rakshak Hospital

Rakshak Hospital is situated right on the Pune Nagar Highway. We are directly opposite the HDFC Bank, so that is usually how people find us if they are driving by. Being on the highway means we get a lot of noise from the trucks and cars passing through at all hours. It is a very visible spot. The building is a standard size and we have our name out front so drivers can see it from a distance. Because of the HDFC Bank across the road, there is usually a lot of people moving around the area, especially during banking hours. We have a parking area in front which is often full of motorcycles and a few cars. Inside, the hospital is laid out in a simple way. We have the reception desk and then the rooms further back. It is a practical layout meant to get people in and out without much confusion. The staff is used to the fast pace of a highway-side hospital. We get people from the nearby villages and also travelers who are just passing through Pune. It is not a quiet place, but it is a busy one. We keep a pot of tea going in the staff room for when there’s a quiet moment. The floors are hard and easy to clean, which is good because of all the dust from the highway. That is pretty much our daily life here, keeping things running as best as we can.
