Junbesi Health Clinic
A Himalayan Trust health clinic at Junbesi, a Solu village three hours' walk above Phaplu on the old trail to Kathmandu.
Project details
The Himalayan Trust established a health clinic at Junbesi in 1979. Junbesi sits in Solu, three hours' walk above Phaplu on the old trail to Kathmandu, and the Trust had built a school in the village fifteen years earlier.
Health care and schooling in Junbesi ran close together from the start. Kazi Sherpa, whom Sir Edmund Hillary appointed headmaster of the Junbesi school in 1970, also served as the village's health worker, and he and his wife Ang Chokpa ran one of the village's trekking lodges.
