Tanglin Trust School “Curry Night” benefit auction for The Himalayan Women’s Health Project is an enormous success

April 1, 2015

On March 27, 2015 a benefit auction was organized by the Tanglin Trust community to raise funds for the long term goals of The Himalayan Women’s Health Project. Dr Quek Swee Chong, the team leader gynecologist, once again shared the goals and challenges of the project in a compelling presentation prior to the bidding. Inspired by the opportunity to bid for donated items that would generate funds for extremely beneficial diagnostic and treatment equipment, the patrons responded with overwhelming generosity. At the end of the evening, over S$55,000 was raised which will enable Dr Quek and his team to purchase the following enormously beneficial equipment that will enhance his capabilities to bring life saving women’s health care screenings and treatments to the women of Ladakh.

  • “Gynocular” portable colposcope:                    3
  • Smart phone cameras for Gynocular units:   2
  • Portable ultrasound machine:                            1
  • Cold Coagulator treatment unit:                        1
  • Laptop computers                                                  2
  • 5 seat van for mobile health camps:                 1
  • Surgical instruments & medications

A sincere and heartfelt expression of admiration and gratitude must be extended to all those who worked tirelessly to make the latest Tanglin Trust School fund raising effort such an enormous success. Quite literally, the equipment that the generosity of the donors and the efforts of the organizers will make possible will save the lives of countless women in Ladakh who’s illnesses or injuries will be able to be diagnosed and treated by the physicians utilizing this splendid equipment. In particular, all of us working to realize the goals of The Himalayan Health Project would like to thank:

Vision Testimonial

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.

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.

Dental Testimonial

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
