Killol Children Hospital & Neonatal Care Unit/Dr Digant Shas

Killol Children Hospital & Neonatal Care Unit is where Dr. Digant Shas works, located at 44 Mahernagar in the Adajan area. Adajan is a nice part of town, and Mahernagar is a fairly quiet pocket compared to the main roads. The hospital is in a building that looks like many others in the neighborhood. We have a small sign out front so parents can find us easily when they are coming for their appointments. Inside, the space is dedicated mostly to the care of very small babies. We have the neonatal unit which has a lot of machines that beep and hum all the time. It is a very specific kind of work we do here. The rooms are kept very warm because the infants need that. Dr. Shas is usually around, moving between the office and the patient rooms. The staff knows the routine by heart. We have a small area for parents to sit, though they are usually too anxious to stay seated for long. The floors are polished every night after the main rush is over. Sometimes you can hear the birds in the trees outside if the windows are shut tight enough to block the street noise. It’s a serious place because of the kind of patients we have, but we try to keep things calm and steady. It’s just our daily life here in Adajan.
