EVEREST BASE CAMP MEDICAL SUPPORT EXPEDITION
Everest Base Camp Medical Clinic		  

Katabatic Consulting, Inc.

Dear Friends,

As you know, Kristin and Tayloe of Katabatic Consulting have been involved in projects in-country and abroad where they have donated their special environment medical consulting expertise for the less fortunate or disaster stricken populations. It is now time to be physically involved. We have been asked to bring our expertise to these locations for hands on medical, education, and consulting needs. We are headed to Everest Base Camp "EBC" Medical Clinic for the 2008 climbing season to assist Dr. Luanne Freer with some of the medical logistics involved in providing free medical services for the climbing Sherpas on Mt. Everest. Please visit the EBC Medical Clinic website for further information on the project www.basecampmd.com.  We are turning to you for donations to aid in the project.

The Everest Base Camp Clinic is a non-profit organization. All medical providers are responsible for travel expenses to EBC. We are not paid for our services and are there to support the Sherpa community, whose livelihood depends on carrying loads for the International climbing community. Read more here.

The Himalayan Rescue Association (HRA) is a voluntary non-profit organization originally formed in 1973 in Nepal with an objective to reduce altitude and other casualties in the Nepal Himalaya. In 2003, the Everest Base Camp Medical Clinic joined established clinics in Pheriche and Manang to further the mission up high. The Himalayan Rescue Association - USA is a nonprofit headquartered in the the US to specifically benefit the HRA's newest clinic. The EBC clinic treats all who become ill or injured at the Everest Base Camp, caring for the the many climbers and Nepali support staff during the popular spring climbing season. All of our physicians volunteer not only their time and services, but their travel to Nepal. Funds help us to renew outdated and worn medical equipment, purchase new medications, advance clinic capabilities, and subsidize low cost or free health care for the Sherpa people.
