The Himalayan Rescue Association and Musa Masala present the pocket-size, wallet-friendly, Altitude tips card
Musa Masala is very excited to have created, along with the Himalayan Rescue Association, a new version of the altitude tips card that we have been providing to the HRA clinics since 2018.
Below you’ll find an introduction from Dr. Sanjiv Bhandari to the HRA, and from Dr. Nishant Joshi Njo, on how he came to work with the HRA. A special part of this is a great interview about working at Everest ER in 2024 — special for all you Everest fans. Jam Jam!
Nutrition at High Altitude: Ariadna Lucero
Please welcome Ariadna Lucero, who we met through our friends at Extreme Medicine, the medical providers at Mt Aconcagua. Ariadna’s interest in the gastrointestinal issues of people living at higher altitudes or with difficult water supply systems links in with our patient population at the Wongchhu Sherpa Memorial Hospital, so we were excited to talk to her about her nutrition research. We’re honored she did this interview with us and hope to work together in the future as she is doing such important work.
Altitude Illness: Tips to Stay Healthy
Welcome back to the Good Trekker Series. We're pleased to introduce our newest expert, Dr Yak! No one knows about living at high altitude like a yak and this yak has all the answers. We are also introducing our new Altitude Tip cards. A version of the card will be distributed to all three clinics this spring run by the Himalayan Rescue Association (HRA) in the villages of Manang in the Annapurna region and Pheriche on the Everest trek. They will also be available at Everest ER at Mt Everest base camp. Make sure you visit these hard working doctors at the clinics and ask for your Musa Masala Attitude Tips card!
