Kalavathi Surgical Hospital & Laparoscopic Centre

Our hospital is right across from the Srikanya Theatre in the Railway New Colony. It’s a busy corner of the world. You can often hear the movies starting if you stand near the front door at the right time. Being near the railway colony, we also hear the trains passing by quite a bit. It’s a sound we have all grown used to over the years. The building is D No 43-9-201. It’s not a brand-new building, but it works for what we do. We focus a lot on surgeries and laparoscopic work here. That means the back rooms are always being scrubbed and prepped for the next case. There is a lot of specialized equipment that needs constant checking and maintenance. We have a small team, and we all know each other’s habits. The nurses are quick on their feet and very practical. In the mornings, we check the list of who is coming in for surgery. It’s a lot of preparation. The waiting area is usually full of family members just sitting and waiting quietly. We have a few fans going to keep the air moving because it gets quite warm in the afternoons. Sometimes the tea seller comes by the gate and everyone takes a five-minute break. It’s a practical place. We don’t have much in the way of decoration, just some health posters on the walls. We just focus on the surgical work and getting people through their recovery as best as we can.
