Dr Tsering Gurung conducts numerous dental camps in Nepal in junction with international schools and The Manang Women’s Empowerment Group

March 21, 2015

Our Nepal partner in the Himalayan Dental Project, Dr Tsering Gurung and her staff at Happy Teeth Dental Clinic, conducted numerous dental health care camps in various locations in Kathmandu and the remote Manang region of Nepal during 2014>15.  During several of the camps her teams were assisted by students from Jakarta International School, United World College and The International School of Kuala Lumpur.  Dr Tsering also mobilized community service leaders from The Manang Woman’s Empowerment Group to take dental heath care expeditions to the remote north side of the Annapurna Himalayas to bring oral health care to the people living in that remote region.  Dr Tsering Gurung will be traveling to Ladakh this summer to join her friend and colleague Dr Marie Nordstrom in our clinic in Leh.  Without her dedication and generous donation of her time and capabilities, the successes of these dental camps in Nepal would not be possible.

Vision Testimonial

image005

All those associated with The Himalayan Vision Project are grateful for the tireless and heroic efforts of the teams of international vision health care physicians and optometrists who have brought vastly improved quality of life to countless men, women and children of Ladakh over the past 7 years.

Our objectives and capabilities have taken a quantum leap forward by virtue of an alliance formed with the prestigious LV Prasad Eye Institute located in Hyderabad. This invaluable collaboration was made possible by the friendship and shared ideals of one of the world's most renowned and admired cornea and stem cell specialists, Dr Virender Sangwan. Dr Sangwan came to the aid of a Ladakhi police officer who was suffering from an extremely serious eye condition and through the successful treatment of that very fortunate individual has become a friend and inspiration to us all.

Fully functional humanitarian health care
for the people of Ladakh.

blessing the Lamdon Clinic

The Lamdon Clinic now serves as "Basecamp" for our ambitious goal of bringing world class dental, vision and women's health care to the people of Ladakh. Not only will we continue to offer cost free treatments for all who come to our doors, but we will now also be sending mobile screening teams of medical professionals to drive or hike to the remotest villages and settlements in the Indus, Nubra and Zanskar Valley regions of Ladakh to educate, examine and if necessary transport patients who need treatment and rehabilitation back to our main clinic complex in Leh.

We draw our guidance from the compassionate inspiration of His Holiness the Dalai Lama who advocates doing all that is possible for those needlessly suffering or deprived of their basic human right of adequate medical care regardless of their religious loyalties, gender, citizenship or financial means.

We were greatly honored when His Holiness the Dalai Lama came to our clinic in 2012 and blessed it's capabilities and aspirations.

dr-nordstrom

Julley everyone!  I'm Dr Marie Nordstrom, the resident dentist at the Himalayan Dental Project Clinic in Leh, Ladakh.  Two years ago I was working at a humanitarian dental clinic in Cambodia. When it was time to move on I was browsing around on the internet searching for another inspirational opportunity where I could volunteer my dental abilities and I came across the Himalayan Dental Project. I sent off an email expressing my interest to volunteer and within a few hours I had a reply from the project coordinator Bill Kite inviting me to join the the clinic team in Ladakh. After his first email I instinctively had a feeling that this would turn into something really significant and decided to book my flight to India and then up to Ladakh.  A short time later I found myself at more than 3,500m above sea level in the Himalayas with spectacular mountain views
