Ayshmaan Hospital

You can find Ayshmaan Hospital in Shujalpur Mandi, right near the Durga Mandir. In fact, the temple is the best landmark if you’re trying to find us for the first time. Everyone in Shujalpur Mandi knows where the Durga Mandir is, so we just tell them we’re right next door. The hospital is a busy place, especially on market days when the Mandi is full of people from all the surrounding villages. There’s a lot of coming and going. The floors are made of that hard tile that’s easy to mop down, which we do several times a day because of all the feet walking through. The air usually smells a bit like antiseptic and tea from the little stall nearby. We’ve got our regular staff who have been here for years and know most of the families in the area. It’s a grounded sort of place. We don’t have those automatic sliding doors or high-tech screens in the lobby. We use paper registers and have old-fashioned benches for people to sit on while they wait. During the festivals at the Durga Mandir, the whole street gets crowded and loud, and we can hear the music and prayers from inside the wards. It’s just how life is in Shujalpur Mandi. We’re just here to do our jobs and help out the people who come in through the front door every day. We aren't flashy, just a solid part of the neighborhood for anyone who needs us.
