Attukal Hospitals

If you head down toward Manacaud and get close to the Attukal Temple, you will find us right there. Being so close to the temple means there is always a lot of movement outside our doors. During the festival times, the whole area gets incredibly packed, and we can hear the music and the crowds from inside the wards. It is a bit of a constant bustle. The building itself has seen a lot of years. We have several floors, and the elevators are usually working, though sometimes they take a minute to arrive. The nurses are always rushing back and forth between the rooms. We get a lot of people coming in from the surrounding Manacaud area because it’s convenient for them. The waiting area has some old magazines and a water cooler that gets a lot of use. We see all kinds of situations every day. Some days are quieter than others, but usually, there is a steady stream of people. The smell of disinfectant is something you just get used to after working here for a week. We have a small parking area that fills up way too fast in the mornings. It’s just how things go in this part of town. Most of us have been working together for a long time, so we know each other's habits. We just keep things moving as best as we can. It gets a bit hot in the afternoons, but the fans help.
