Doctor Jailal Badgujar

Doctor Jailal Badgujar’s place is out in Salumbar, which is part of the Udaipur district. The address is Udaipur Ho, and the code is 313001. Salumbar is a bit of a distance from the main Udaipur city, so it has its own local feel. The clinic is set up in a way that’s very practical for the people living in this rural or semi-urban area. Rajasthan can be very dusty, so we spend a lot of time just keeping the dust off the chairs and the desk. The building is simple, nothing too modern. We have a few rooms where we do our work. Outside, you might see some goats or cows passing by on the street, which is quite common here. It’s a quiet life for the most part. People come in from the nearby villages, sometimes traveling for an hour or so. We have a small area for people to sit, and we usually have a jug of water and some glasses ready. The air feels different here than in the city, a bit more open. We don't have a lot of staff, so we end up doing a bit of everything ourselves. It’s a straightforward way to run a clinic. We start the day when the sun is up and finish before it gets too dark, as people like to get back to their homes before night. It’s a basic life but it works well for us.
