Mitra Hospital

Our place is located on Old Post Office Road, and it’s been a fixture here for a long time. People around here know the building well because it’s been there through all the changes in the neighborhood. We aren't one of those massive hospitals with robots and five-star cafeterias. Instead, we have narrow hallways and rooms that have seen a lot of use over the years. The staff is mostly local folks who have been working together forever, so we all know each other’s habits. On any given morning, you’ll see people waiting out front before we even open the doors. It gets busy, especially during the monsoon when everyone seems to come down with something at the same time. We spend our shifts checking charts, talking to families, and trying to keep everything organized, which isn't always easy when things get hectic. The sound of the traffic outside is constant, but once you step inside, it’s mostly the sound of fans whirring and people talking in low voices. We don't have a lot of bells and whistles, just the basic equipment needed to take care of the people who walk through the door. It’s tiring work, and some days are harder than others, but this is just where we work and what we do for the community on Old Post Office Road. We try to keep things simple and just focus on the patients who are right in front of us.
