Eco Himal provides medical support, in cooperation with the
Italian Committee EV-K2-CNR
Tshome
is a village which lies in the Changtang, the great Northern Tibetan plateau at 4800m altitude.
In 1999 Eco Himal built a small hospital in the village. Thanks to the commitment of its director,
Dr. Namkha, the hospital is working perfectly, and is very popular among the local people of the area.
Medicines are still needed.
Yasang health service/medical practice and pharmacy:
Yasang village is located in Central Tibet, in Lhoka prefecture, at an altitude of 4,400 meters. The local
primary school is already supported by Eco Himal (for building maintenance, teaching materials and chuba)
and there is now a request for a health clinic to be attached to the school.
The people of the village asked us to improve their health service. They already have medical assistance, provided by a
"barefoot doctor". This doctor needs more medicines and a room in which to practice and to put supplies
and the pharmacy. The village has already chosen a house at the centre of the village and close to the
school where it proposes to locate the medical practice.
