Objectives • Establish  “Community Emergency Response Team” CERT in every village in Khumbu Region 

• Create Emergency Fund in villages by the people for the people 

• Help set a standard medical training for trekking and mountain guides 

• Help establish Mountain SAR in NepalEstablish  foundation for Emergency Medical Service in Nepal “ALL DAY , EVERYDAY PRACTISE SAFETY FIRST ” 

Page 25: Dr Nima Namgyal Sherpa: Khumbu Climbing Centre

Way forward 

• Ensuring health and safety is important to promote adventure tourism in Nepal 

• Coordination and collaboration between different organizations to provide needed training to respond immediately and effectively to disasters from natural hazards

Emergency VS Urgency From a medical point of view, Emergency refers to  threat to life needing immediate action to save life and Urgency refers to immediate need of action in a given time to prevent it from becoming an emergency. 

How do we relate this to Environmental , Waste management, overcrowding , preserving nature , climate change issues ?

WH questions??? To find A /best solution in everyone’s best interest  respecting the SOCIAL ,ENVIRONMENTAL & ECONOMIC valuesbetween environmentalist, conservationist , commercial service providers, local community and the  visitors 

“ The solution to our problems must come from within the country not from abroad “

Thank you
