Amla Hospital

Amla Hospital is located in Koorkenchery, right in Thrissur-7. It’s been here in this part of Kerala for quite a while. The area around Koorkenchery is fairly busy, but the hospital itself feels like a regular part of the neighborhood. We aren't one of those massive medical cities you see nowadays. Instead, it’s a place where locals can just walk in. The building has its years on it, but it’s sturdy and serves its purpose. Inside, the floors are usually being mopped, and there’s that faint smell of medicine in the air. We see people for all sorts of things, from small fevers to bigger issues. Thrissur is a place where people talk to each other, so we get a lot of our visitors through word of mouth from neighbors. There’s a bit of a parking area out front, though it fills up fast on Monday mornings. The staff mostly lives nearby, so they know the people who come in. We don't have a lot of corporate rules about how to talk to patients; we just speak normally like you would to a neighbor. It’s a practical, honest sort of hospital. We just do our shifts, look after the patients in the beds, and go home. Koorkenchery is a good spot to be in, and we’re glad to be a part of the daily life here in Thrissur-7. It’s just a hospital run by people for the people living around us.
