During the meeting, it was agreed that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will be signed between LAHDC Leh and Vision Himalaya society for a duration of 15 years. This collaboration aims to enhance healthcare services in the region, particularly focusing on dental care and cancer diagnostics. The primary goal of the Project Smile Himalaya is to collaborate with LAHDC to optimize the use of a mobile medical van, ensuring effective and accessible healthcare delivery to remote communities. The first health camp is scheduled for November 20 in the Nyoma constituency, following the formal signing of the MoU. LAHDC will provide drivers support and team of medical personnel, with the Health Director and CMO assisting in the execution of the camps. These camps will focus on screenings for Helicobacter pylori infections, as well as providing dental services, cervical cancer and mammography screening. The partnership seeks to deliver long term healthcare services to underserved populations in Ladakh, while also organizing educational and health awareness initiatives to improve community well-being.
