Health And Sanitation Initiatives
Pema mani charitable trust organizes medical camps and health training sessions in regular intervals. We try to invite highly trained and efficient doctors and health care givers to our place and hold medical camps for the local people. We provide free medicines as well as healthy living tips and training. It has turned out to be a huge success and boon to the poor and aged people who couldn’t afford to go to the medical hospitals situated in far off places. The trust invites doctors and health experts who volunteer to visit our locality for health camps. These health camps and training are fully funded and sponsored by the trust. We provide free medicines to the sick and we also train youths to handle various drastic health emergencies.
Tibetan Medical Clinic
The Chairman of trust and the local people’s forum discussed this particular project, during the visit of His Holiness the Dalai Lama in February 2003. The Dalai Lama directly entrusted the responsibility of establishing the medical clinic under the supervision of Pema Mani Charitable Trust and promised to send a qualified doctor from Tibetan Medical Institute, Dharamsala. Subsequently, the following year, the chairman of Pema Mani Charitable Trust Khen Rinpoche Tsering Dorjee personally approached His Holiness The Dalai Lama and the Exile Tibetan Government establishment at Dharamsala several times and put forward written petition citing the needs and importance of establishing a Tibetan Medical Clinic at Tuting, Upper Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh as soon as possible.
The Chairman donated a plot of land and provided initial financial aid for the noble purpose of establishing Tibetan Medical Clinic under the aegis of Tibetan medical and Astrological Institute, Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh.
The clinic was immediately started with the help of local people and the then local administrative body. Now, it has become a full-fledged medical clinic with a resident doctor, a compounder and other staffs. The clinic also gets yearly visit from senior physicians from Dharamsala at regular intervals. This project has benefited thousands of poor and sick people of this region.
