Christian Hospital Bissam Cuttak

Finding your way to the hospital here in Bissam Cuttck takes a bit of effort if you’re not from around these parts. We are located right in the heart of the community. The roads can be a bit bumpy, and the weather is often unpredictable, but the hospital stays open through it all. It’s a collection of buildings that have been added to over the years, so the layout is a little confusing if you’re new. We have a lot of long-time staff who know every corner of the place. We don’t use a lot of fancy words to describe what we do. We just help people get better when they’re sick. There’s a lot of waiting involved, as is the case with any busy place, but we try to keep things orderly. You’ll see a lot of people sitting on the verandas or chatting under the shade. The atmosphere is generally quiet, though it picks up when the morning clinic opens. We deal with all sorts of things, from minor scrapes to more serious issues. The equipment we have is well-used and we take care of it because it’s hard to get replacements out here. Everyone knows everyone in Bissam Cuttck, so working here feels like helping out your own family. We don't have a big corporate office; just a small desk where the billing happens and a lot of rooms where the real work gets done every day.
