LNA opened two clinics in Leh in 2009. One is at the main market near the bus station at our neighbor. One is on the main road near the College. Two Amchies attend each clinic each day, except Saturday.

We have stared to prepare medicines at our Centre. We collected herbs from the mountains in summer 2009. At present we have  to order the other ingredients, tropical fruits and roots of  herbs from Punjab. It is very expensive and we have to wait for the materials to be transported by road.

The number of patients is increasing every day, as patients are  very happy with the treatment received from the nuns. Some have commented on how effective the fresh medicines are, compared to pills. Women patients are especially happy to be able to see a woman practioner, as they can share their life stories and their concerns.

We all are very thankful to Biologo of Switzerland for their great support to train the nine nuns as Tibetan medicine practitioners. With their financial support over the last seven years our nuns have now stared to contribute physical and mental help to patients in Leh.

Projects for 2010-11

We plan to travel to remote areas, to provide consultations, dispense medicines and give talks on preventative health.

LNA needs to rent fields in villages to cultivate herbs for the next five to ten years. Sponsors and donors are being actively sought for these activities.
