Mahatma Gandhi Cancer Hospital

This hospital is situated in MVP Colony. If you know the area, you know it’s a fairly well-established part of the city. The hospital stands out a bit, but it’s very much integrated into the colony life. Being a cancer hospital, the atmosphere here is often quiet. People are usually focused on their own business. You see families sitting in the waiting areas or walking in the nearby lanes of MVP Colony during their breaks. The building is designed to be functional above all else. We have the different departments for various treatments and the rooms for patients who have to stay over for a while. It’s a lot of white walls and tiled floors that are easy to keep sterile and clean. We don't go in for much decoration because that's not what people are here for. The staff is always moving around, checking charts or talking to visitors. Outside, the traffic of the colony passes by, but inside we try to keep a steady pace for everyone. There’s a lot of specialized machinery in the back rooms that requires careful handling. It’s a heavy responsibility running a place like this, and everyone on the staff feels it. We just try to get through the daily schedule and make sure the facility is running as it should. It’s a serious place, but it’s a necessary part of the community here for many families.
