In pictures: Our Manma Medical Camp
/
The Gurkha Welfare Trust hosts free Medical Camps for communities living in the remote hills of Nepal. We provide a range of treatments and health checks as well as supply prescriptions, mobility aids and equipment. Some villagers travel for days to access our treatment, because this is the only medical assistance they are able to receive. Our teams run the Medical Camps in collaboration with local government authorities, and external medical specialists.
Our most recent Medical Camp was held in Manma, a town located high in the hills of Nepal’s Kalikot District.

The services we provided in Manma, even those as simple as cataract removals, minor ear operations, and tooth extractions, made all the difference to locals living in discomfort who have no other means of healthcare.

Some of our older patients were especially pleased to receive dentures, which made a transformative difference in their smiles!

Amongst other medical care, we provided 165 dental treatments, assisted over 35 patients with rehabilitation, and performed more than 168 ear operations, of which 25 patients received hearing aids.
