Health Care for Nomads in Eastern Tibet

BODHI supports the Jamseng Health Care Centre (pdf 124KB) in Tibet, a project of Gaden Relief Projects.

The health care problems of the 8,000 nomads in the Zadoh region of Eastern Tibet are poverty-related. They include:

• Tuberculosis
• Glaucoma
• Heart disease
• Kidney and bladder stones
• Gall bladder and stomach upset
• Rheumatism and arthritis
• 30% of newborns die
• Many young babies die from diarrhoea and dehydration

The Jamseng Health Care Clinic needs funds to:

• Build rooms for patients
• Pay salaries for doctors and support staff
• Purchase medicine and equipment
