The clinic the flood took

In August 2024 a glacial lake outburst flood destroyed Thame's health clinic.

Thame is a six-hour walk from Khunde Hospital. The same flood destroyed Thame's school. Health services moved first into a tent at Thameteng, then into a sturdier community building.

A new clinic, with an outpatient room, a waiting room and staff quarters, is now being built on safer ground. The Himalayan Trust expects it finished before the end of the year.
