ändliche Entwicklung im Arun-Tal

The large Sherpa communities on the eastern bank of the Bhote Koshi river, such as Beding, Simigaon and Tashinam as well as numerous smaller communities had no access to any medical services.

With the help of Austrian donations, Eco Himal was able to restore an existing building and establish a health post there. Three rooms were adapted and furnished, a drinking water supply installed and toilets built. One room was equipped as a pharmacy.

Subsequently, local people were trained to provide qualified medical emergency assistance. The services will include vaccination programs, hygiene trainings for women's groups, mother and child care as well as family planning for both men and women.

The Simigaon health post provides basic medical services both for the villagers in this formerly neglected area and for the tourists who pass through the Rolwaling valley.
