Himalayan Health Exchange Details
Established in 1996 in the U.S., Himalayan Health Exchange (HHE) believes that health care should not be a selective privilege but rather a tool to ensure equity and transformation of global communities. Through its dedicated effort to expand free, preventive care to the underserved populations, HHE runs annual medical and dental expeditions to the remote Indo-Tibetan Himalayan region – bringing medical, dental and global health students and residents to local, mobile, outpatient clinics. Led and supervised by U.S. board-certified physicians and dentists, students gain practical clinical experience, fulfilment of medical electives, exposure to a diverse global health system, and a cultural adventure of a lifetime.HHE BY THE NUMBERS:OPERATIONS:26 - Years of Operations126 - Total Expeditions78 - Annual Clinics Served48 - Local Villages Served22 - Local Schools ServedTEAMS:5,000+ - Participating Students/Residents126 - Participating Universities, Globally27 - Countries Represented~10% - Annual Return Rate of Participant StudentsCLINICAL IMPACT:284,800 - Patients Assisted11 - Surgical Camps Sponsored5 - Permanent, Free Local Clinics Established/Assisted
