The Front Line: Village Health Posts of the Everest Trail

Healthcare in the High Valleys

While the main hospitals get the glory, the small village health posts are the backbone of local life. Supporting these during your Everest trekking adventure helps the families who make the Mount Everest expedition possible.

Primary Care for Sherpa Families

These posts treat everything from infections to injuries for the local population. By donating or visiting, you acknowledge the human side of the Mount Everest summit industry during your expedition.

Maternal and Child Health

In remote areas, these health posts are vital for safe childbirth and early childhood care. A healthy community is a strong support team for future Everest trekking and Mount Everest summit attempts.

A Resource for Trekkers

In an emergency, these village posts provide the first line of stabilization. Their presence along the Everest trekking route makes the journey to Everest Base Camp safer for every Mount Everest expedition member.

Give Back Locally

Support the health of the Khumbu. It is the best way to ensure the long-term success and sustainability of the Everest trekking and Mount Everest summit industry.
