Opportunity provided by
Ladakh Heart Foundation
Seeks to give people the opportunity to have access to proper healthcare, free of charge.
In our general hospital in Leh, and through medical camps in all Ladakh, we offer different diagnostics and treatments, for free, to those who need them.
We have created an international network of specialists who volunteer their work to treat our patients.
In Ladakh, most of the population lives at an altitude between 3500 - 5000 meters and in the winter temperature goes down to -36 degrees. These factors are the reason why there is a high risk of cardiovascular diseases in this area. The nearest hospitals that deal with these problems are more than 500 km from Ladakh and because of the extreme weather and the winds, sometimes the roads close for months.
This opportunity is located in Leh, India.
