We got our start by providing basic medical care to remote villages during treks. We built on this experience to organize medical treks, establish permanent healthposts in the region, and train local healthworkers. Medical treks give villagers access to trained medical profssionals; healthposts provide a permanent presence essential to long-term health gains. Through these efforts, today HHC provides primary care, including prenatal care and treatment of infectious diseases, to over 13,000 people living in the villages of Tipling, Sherthung, Borang, Lapa and Jharlang. These villages are located in a remote region northwest of Kathmandu in the Dhading District, an area with a large lower-caste population trapped in the grinding poverty associated with subsistence farming.                                         

In March 2004, HHC opened the Megh Bahadur Parajuli Community Hospital in the town of Ilam and modeled on a new approach to healthcare in Nepal. Currently it has been leased.
