Shechen Clinic in Nepal treats over 45,000 patients annually, and provides vital services otherwise unobtainable: general medicine, traditional Himalayan medicine, a fully equipped laboratory providing free HIV testing and a modern dental office. It also includes a hospice where impoverished terminally sick and elderly people receive shelter and compassionate care, a pro-active social services program which helps destitute mothers and their children find work and education, and break the cycle of poverty, and a drug and alcohol treatment program.
Even with the success of Shechen Clinic, additional funds are urgently needed for a new medical centre to house a WHO program for the prevention of HIV, hepatitis B, malaria, and tuberculosis.

The Shechen mobile clinic in Bihar province, India, travels to thirteen villages in the impoverished Bodhgaya region, providing medicine and saving the lives of people who otherwise would have no medical care at all.

DISPENSARIES and HOSPICES provide basic care in remote areas.

In Tibet, Karuna/Shechen has built twelve dispensaries and several hospices in areas with no medical facilities.
