Free Health Camp in Chitre, Helambu and Lapsephedi, Kathmandu

MCAF in collaboration with The Wild Medic Project Inc. Australia organized a ‘Free Health Camp’ in Chitre, Kiul Helambu on the 28th and 29th of November 2015 where the April earthquake devastated all houses, schools, and the Chitre Health Post.

We are overwhelmed with the support and excitement from the community to run this health camp over there. Our initiative of providing basic health care to communities with limited access to such care is very effective, as over 180 people have come to the heath camp in the first two days. The community much appreciated our health clinic, general hygiene, and first aid training. The team also spent a day on 30th Nov with local people cleaning rubbles of the old Chitre Health Post site that was destroyed by the earthquake. Superior hospitality, welcoming, and farewell by the community have deeply touched our hearts.

After the great success of the Health Camp in Chitre, the team spent a couple of days 2nd and 3rd of December at Hillside Academy, Lapsephedi offering assessments and treatment to 287 students of the school. The team also took a class of basic first-aid session for the senior students.

We want to assure you that we will continue this program with more support in the future. Many thanks to all who are directly and indirectly involved in this project to make it successful.
