HEALTH CAMPS

At the core to any healthy country are healthy communities. With approximately 90% of the population of Nepal living as subsistence farmers, healthy bodies are essential for maintaining quality of life and providing for the family. The farmer’s bodies also have to endure the rigor and physical demands of farming life which can be extremely demanding particularly given that mechanization is not in use at all in poor communities – everything is done by hand.

Our health camps target large numbers (usually over 500+ patients) in the poorest rural communities (usually inaccessible by car) and provide them with health care services they could not otherwise access or afford.

The Program Includes:

Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists and Volunteers: Professional health care experts supported by willing organisers, volunteers and administrators

Medicines and Medical Equipment: Distributed free of charge by the pharmacy team to meet people’s needs

Locating the Poorest Communities: Targeted for people of the lowers castes, with minimal income and few opportunities

Traveling to Remote Areas: Getting to places where roads don’t go and medical services don’t easily reach

Working with the Local Medical Check-post: Ensuring additionality to local provision, maximizing effectiveness, advertising the program and delivering in partnership

Take Note !

The program often includes conducting minor surgeries amongst many other treatments
