Manickam Hospital

Over here at No.12/1/71 on Govindasamy Naidu St, things move at a steady pace. Manickam Hospital is right in the heart of Mecheri, and we’ve been part of this community for years. We are located in the Meetur Taluk area, which is a place where everyone kind of knows everyone else. The hospital is not one of those giant glass buildings you see in the big cities. It’s a practical place with white walls and overhead fans that spin all day long. We have a small courtyard where people can sit and get some air. I usually start my shift by checking the supplies and making sure the benches in the waiting area are lined up straight. It gets dusty because of the road, so there is always cleaning to do. We see people from all over Meetur Taluk coming in with all sorts of needs. Some come from the post office area or the nearby shops. We don’t have a marketing department or anyone to write fancy things about us. We just provide a place for people to get checked out when they aren't feeling well. The street outside can be noisy with the local market nearby, but we are used to it. It’s just how life is on Govindasamy Naidu St. We keep the doors open and do what we can for the folks who walk through them. It’s a busy life here but it's what we know and we just keep at it every day. We just focus on the people who come in.
