Asha Lok Child Clinic & Vaccination Center

If you know where the Raas Rang Banquet Hall is in Sigra, we are just a short walk from there in the Chittu Pur area. This clinic, Asha Lok, has been around this part of Varanasi for a good number of years now. We focus mostly on kids, so you can imagine it gets pretty noisy in the mornings. There’s almost always someone crying because of a needle or just being grumpy about having to visit the doctor. The waiting area is a bit small and we’ve got some old plastic toys scattered around to keep the little ones busy for a few minutes. It’s not a very big place, just a few rooms where we handle checkups and give out the regular vaccines. The building is tucked away at C-33/52C, and sometimes people miss the turn if they aren't looking closely at the signs. We see a lot of parents coming in with their newborns or toddlers every day. It’s a routine thing for us, checking heights, weights, and making sure the shots are up to date. The ceiling fans hum all day and the light in the hallway flickers a bit sometimes when the power fluctuates. We don’t have a fancy website or a receptionist who speaks like a robot. It’s just us. We know most of the families in the neighborhood by their names now. The traffic near Sigra is always a mess, so we usually tell people to leave home early. It's a busy life running a child clinic, but we've gotten used to the daily chaos.
