Wilderness in Nepal (WIN Ltd) is pleased to announce the recommencement of medical clinics and treks in Nepal, organised by our In-Country Representative, Mr Ang Tshering Sherpa (Keep Walking Nepal) and in conjunction with the Kushudebu Public Health Mission (KPHM). Expressions of interest are now open.

The fifth WIN Medical Clinic is to be held at Bhadaure, Annapurna Region, from Tuesday 3 October to Friday 6 October 2023.

The Medical Clinic is to be held at our newly opened WIN Health Post at Bhadaure, the village in the Annapurna region where the Shree Bahadure Secondary School and Wilderness Bahadure Boarding House are situated (the Bhadaure community has been supported by the Wilderness community since 2005).

The newly-appointed Health Assistant, Mr Cheewang Sherpa will be co-ordinating the Medical Clinic, and it is envisaged that a number of Nepali specialist doctors and nurses will also be involved, working alongside our attending medical personnel. This Medical Clinic will be run in the same way as our successful Medical Clinics at Junbesi. You can view the WIN website for more information about past clinics.
