Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals

We are right here in Sarita Vihar, and if you’ve lived around this part of Delhi for a bit, you probably know where the big white building is. Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals has been a landmark here for quite a while now. It’s always busy, from the early morning when the sun is just coming up until late at night when the streetlights are the only thing shining. There are always cars and rickshaws coming in and out of the gates. Inside, things are just as fast. We have people walking through the hallways constantly, some looking for the pharmacy and others trying to find their way to the different floors. The staff here are mostly local folks who have been working these shifts for years. We see families sitting in the waiting areas, sharing snacks and just waiting for news. It isn't always quiet, and sometimes it gets a bit crowded near the main entrance, but that is just how it is in a place this size. We don't have any fancy speeches to give about what we do. It’s just a place where people come when they aren’t feeling well, and we try to keep things moving as best as we can. You might see us grabbing a quick tea at the stall nearby or just standing outside for a bit of air. It’s a huge operation, but at the end of the day, it’s just about people helping other people in our neighborhood.
