Amrita Hospital & Research Centre

Running Amrita Hospital & Research Centre keeps us all on our toes. We are tucked away on Kalimandir Road, specifically inside the Burdwan Compound, which can be a bit of a maze if you aren't used to the area. There is a lot going on here between the regular hospital stuff and the research side of things. You will often see people walking around with clipboards or rushing between different wings of the building. It is a pretty old-school setup in some ways, with rooms that have seen plenty of use over the years. The Burdwan Compound area is usually quite active, so there is always a bit of background noise from the street coming through the windows. We have a mix of staff, some who have been here forever and others who are just starting out in their medical careers. It gets pretty crowded in the mornings when the first shift starts up and the families begin to arrive. We spend a lot of time just managing the flow of people and making sure the equipment is where it needs to be. It’s not the most modern place you’ll ever see, but it’s where we show up every morning to do our jobs. Sometimes the research labs are quiet while the main wards are loud, which is a strange balance to have in one building. We just keep things moving along as best as we can on Kalimandir Road while handling all the various tasks that pop up.
