Dr. Pokale Hospital

Dr. Pokale Hospital is situated right on Kurduwadi Road. It’s a busy road, so there is always something going on outside our doors. We serve a lot of the local community here in Kurduwadi, and sometimes people traveling through stop in if they have an emergency or need a quick check-up. The hospital has been a fixture on this road for a while. We aren't trying to be one of those giant city hospitals with glass walls and uniforms. This is a practical place. We have beds for people who need to stay over and a staff that works in shifts to make sure someone is always around. Kurduwadi Road can get quite dusty and loud with the trucks passing, but we do our best to keep the inside of the hospital clean and calm for the patients. It’s a lot of work running a hospital in this area, but we have a good rhythm going. We see all sorts of cases, from minor injuries to more serious illnesses that require a bit more time to fix. The locals know us, and we know them. It feels like a community effort most days. If you are driving down Kurduwadi Road, you really can’t miss us. We have enough space for the patients and their families to wait. We just focus on getting people back on their feet so they can get back to their lives. It is a busy spot but we manage okay.
