What to Expect
During the clinic, you will spend a full week providing essential medical care to patients in the remote community of Tumlingtar. We will be working side by side with local healthcare workers at Manakamana Hospital, supporting their efforts to deliver healthcare in a region with limited resources. Through this collaboration, you’ll play a key role in helping improve future healthcare initiatives in the area.
Expect cold weather due to the high elevation of this site. Our team will be working inside a hospital but expect an average high of 40 degrees outside. Prepare to be at high altitude, staying hydrated to avoid altitude sickness. Note that several mountain roads are curvy so volunteers with motion sickness should prepare accordingly.
