We have been committed to these people for over 12 years
Himalayan Health Center has its roots in Himalayan Health Exchange (HHE), a company that has been leading medical expeditions into the Himalayas since 1996 under the direction of Ravinder Singh, Founder. HHE is now bringing medical and dental services to over 12,000 people each year. Through these expeditions, the critical need for a hospital has become evident. While the care delivered by the HHE traveling medical professionals is essential, their work is severely limited by the lack of hospital facilities.
For the past 12 years, our board members and volunteers have been traveling on foot and by road to remote settlements and villages of the Indo-Tibetan borderlands to provide medical care to a mix of Tibetan refugees, Northern Indians and Gaddis, a sheep-herding tribe of the Himalayas .
Through these camps, we have provided over 140,000 people with free medicines, medical and dental care.
We have also sponsored over 250 patients for specialized eye and heart surgeries (MVRs). All of our board members have experience with the healthcare system in the region. It is this extensive, first-hand experience upon which the Himalayan Health Center has been developed.
