Fortis Escorts Heart Institute (Religare)

Fortis Escorts Heart Institute (Religare) sits right on Okhla Road. Most people around here just call it the heart institute since that is what we mostly focus on. The Religare name is on the paperwork too. Being on Okhla Road means there is never a dull moment with the traffic and the noise from the street. It’s a major landmark in this area. Inside, the atmosphere is a bit serious because of the kind of work being done. Heart stuff is heavy, so we try to keep things moving without too much fuss. The nurses are usually the ones you see the most, walking fast down the halls with charts. We’ve got surgeons and specialists who spend most of their time in the back. The lobby can get a bit crowded in the afternoons when families are waiting around. It’s a big operation to run, honestly. We have to keep track of a lot of equipment and make sure the rooms are ready. It isn't always perfect, sometimes things take longer than we want, but everyone is trying their part. The building is fairly large and has been part of this neighborhood for a long time. We just focus on getting through the daily schedule. There is a lot of coffee being drunk in the breakrooms and a lot of talking in the corridors. We just stay busy with the patients who come through the doors every morning. Being near the main road means we are easy to find but the noise is just something we live with. It's a heavy job but the people here just get on with it.
