Medical Camp
The Camp is not only for medical students; we also had the chance to welcome qualified doctors and dentists from various countries. Therefore we would be happy to meet you if you are interested in our camp and have spare time over the summer. The journey proposed here, will take you to the foothills of the Himalaya Chain where you will help set up and run a medical, and dental clinic in remote Nepali villages. This unusual camp is an opportunity for you to discover the insight of healthcare in location where permanent medical facilities still does not exist. You will trek across the foothills to arrive in Bumburi and Bupsa, where the medical camp will be set up.
Please note that the required number of participants is at a minumum of 5 and a maximum of 20 participants. Nevertheless, it doesn't mean that you have to be a group of 5 to book the trip.
