Sankalp Clinic

Being on Najafgarh Road in Nangloi means there is never any peace. The traffic is always moving outside Sankalp Clinic. We have been at number 116 for quite a while now. Most people find us because they live in the blocks nearby or they see our door while stuck in traffic. It’s just a small place, really. Nothing special to look at from the outside. Inside, we have some chairs and a table where we sit and talk to whoever comes in. Usually, it’s just locals from Nangloi who have a fever or need a checkup. We don't use a lot of big words or complicated machines. We just listen to what’s wrong and see what we can do. The room gets a bit stuffy in the summer, even with the windows open, because of the bus fumes. I try to keep it clean, but the dust from the road is a constant battle. We don’t have a big staff, just a couple of us who take turns. Sometimes we stay open late if someone comes in right at closing time. It’s just how things go here. We aren't trying to be a huge medical center. We are just a neighborhood clinic where you can get help without a lot of fuss. People appreciate that we are easy to talk to. We’ve seen kids grow up and bring their own kids here. It’s just part of life on Najafgarh Road, through the heat and the rain.
