HHC provides primary health care to remote villages in the Dhading region in the Himalayas.

We got our start by providing basic medical care to remote villages during treks. We built on this experience to organize medical treks, establish permanent healthposts in the region, and train local healthworkers. Medical treks give villagers access to trained medical profssionals; healthposts provide a permanent presence essential to long-term health gains. Through these efforts, today HHC provides primary care, including prenatal care and treatment of infectious diseases, to over 13,000 people living in the villages of Tipling, Sherthung, Borang, Lapa and Jharlang. These villages are located in a remote region northwest of Kathmandu in the Dhading District, an area with a large lower-caste population trapped in the grinding poverty associated with subsistence farming.                                                                                                                                              In March 2004, HHC opened the Megh Bahadur Parajuli Community Hospital in the town of Ilam and modeled on a new approach to healthcare in Nepal. Currently it has been leased.                                                                                                                                                                                                 

Mission Statement

The mission of Himalayan HealthCare is to create sustainable development programs in the remote areas of Nepal that will improve the quality of life for its people. Himalayan HealthCare achieves its mission by providing primary healthcare, community education, and income generation programs that enable people to be self-supporting in the long-term.

Support HHC's 'One Home One Toilet' Campaign in Remote Ruby Valley

Himalayan HealthCare continues to build permanent toilets in partnership with recipients in remote Ruby Valley Rural Municipality near the Ganesh Himal mountains where there were none. This has reduced the rate of diarrhea, dysentery, typhoid and many other fly-borne diseases thus preventing deaths of children, women and elders while also keeping the villages clean. We have built over 700 toilets serving over 3500 community members directly and tens of thousands indirectly. We need to help build 500 more. Every dollar counts.
