The medical
care that we take for granted in the United States is not readily available
in the Northern Himalayan mountains of India. In order to better meet the
medical needs of the people of this area, Pastor Nandu has put together a
number of free medical clinics. Depending on interest and availability of
volunteers and resources, there are plans for holding another medical clinic
in October of 2008. |
| Determining the location of the clinic, filing the necessary governmental paperwork, gathering medicines and other medical supplies, putting together a staff of medical professionals, the logistics involved in getting the word out to the villages and for running the clinic, along with making travel plans, getting the proper Visas and our own health checks, will all take a year of planning in order to bring together a successful medical clinic. The planning will begin in earnest in October of 2007. However it’s not too early to begin thinking about your involvement. |

The staff would ideally consist of doctors and nurses in a variety of specialty areas including general practice, pediatrics, eye and dental care. The provisions needed will include medications, vitamins, and dressing supplies. A comprehensive list of provisions for this region will be posted as the time draws near.
