One of our women’s health care champions in Ladakh, Dr Deyki Yangzom, secured an extremely rare and beneficial opportunity to travel from Ladakh and be accepted as a temporary staff member of the prestigious Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute in Calcutta during the winter months of 2015. Because of the respect shared between the Head of Department of Gynecologic Oncology, Dr Partha Basu and Dr Swee Chong the head physician in the Himalayan Women’s Health project, Dr Dekyi was accepted for this unprecedented training opportunity and now returns to Ladakh with enhanced capabilities and confidence to improve her ability to bring adequate gynecological health care to the women of Ladakh. Dr Dekyi is looking forward to additional training opportunities when Dr Swee Chong brings his next team of women’s health care specialists to Ladakh May 16 > 28, 2015;
