10th Annual Upper Mustang Free Health Camp with Himalayan Guge Organization
People living in the Upper Mustang region of Nepal lack access to medical services and many have never had a proper checkup with a qualified physician. Instead, they have relied on traditional medical practices which are only partially effective. In November 2024, a team of volunteers participated in JJoy's second volunteer trip to Nepal - the 10th Annual Upper Mustang Free Health Camp. During this project, a team of medical doctors and professionals organized by the Himalayan Guge Organization (HGO) offered free checkups, workshops, and health assessments for every individual in attendance - a total of 337 people over the course of 4 days! Volunteers supported doctors in recording vital signs, distributing medications, assisting with treatments and registering patients. In the time outside the clinic, the team had a chance to visit several important cultural heritage and enjoyed the beautiful Himalayan vistas. It was a special opportunity and a big success!
We are returning to Nepal in November 2025 for the 11th Annual Upper Mustang Free Health Camp, email us at [email protected] for information on how to join us!
