Three-member doctors tour Norway for medical camps

Dr. Sonam Lhamo, CMO Dekyiling branch clinic; Dr. Dekhang Tsering Dorjee, Deputy Director, Materia Medica Department and Dr. Nyima Gyaltsen Mankhang, CMO Bandara Tibetan settlement clinic toured Sandvika, Namsos and MO I Rana in Norway from the 11th of August to the 3rd of September.

During the medical consultation tours, Dr. Sonam Lhamo gave medical consultations to 50 patients, Dr. Dekhang T. Dorjee gave consultations to 48 patients and Dr. Nyima Gyaltsen Mankhang gave medical consultations to 74 patients in their respective area. The majority of the patients who visited the campsites were diagnosed as suffering from indigestion, arthritis, nerve related diseases, stress, anxiety associated disturbances, migraine, anemia, hypertension and others such diseases.

This was the first time Tibetan doctors from Men-Tsee-Khang have ever visited Namsos and MO I Rana on a medical tour. Dr. Dekhang reports, “The use of Tibetan cupping therapy in the treatment approach has shown significant results even within a short period.” Dr. Mankhang was interviewed by the local newspaper about the efficacy of Tibetan medicine which he believed had helped in generating keen interest among the general public. The organiser of MO I Rana medical camp Ms. Ingrid Kristensen writes, “I have contacted several clients that have been examined by Dr. Mankhang, and they all are very satisfied with him.”

Apart from prescribing medications, the three visiting doctors also managed to give clear and precise dietary and behavioural instructions to each and every patient providing nearly an hour each to clarify doubts and questions, which they said were highly appreciated.
Men-Tsee-Khang administration thanks the organizers: the director of Laserklinikken, Anne Harila; Marianne Kristensen and Torstein Ronningean for their hospitality to the three visiting Men-Tsee-Khang doctors and of course to their families and friends for their benevolent acts and cooperation in making the tours successful.

Dr. Dekhang visits England After wrapping up his Norway tour,
Dr. Dekhang Tsering Dorjee flew to London on the 4th of September, for another medical camp. He visited the Kaliash Centre of Oriental Medicine. This Centre is London’s leading clinic specialising in Oriental Medicine, offering a tranquil environment and is often visited by experienced physicians and practitioners. It also provides a platform for the practice, research and education of Oriental medical and philosophical traditions.

Dr. Dekhang T. Dorjee gave consultations to a number of patients and presented a talk on the topic “Need of Tibetan Medicine in this Modern Era” at the Kailash Centre of Oriental Medicine. It is reported that the participants showed a keen interest in the richness Tibetan Medical System has to share and offer to the rest of the world.
Men-Tsee-Khang wishes to thank Hansjorg Mayer, the Director of the Kailash Centre, his associates Karen De Vries, Edyta Rychlicka and their friends and colleagues for making this trip a successful one.
