NaropaCare

India’s doctor-to-population ratio is among the world’s lowest, with nine doctors per 10,000 people in Ladakh. Ladakh, situated at an elevation of over 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) above sea level, presents unique health challenges due to lower oxygen levels and extreme weather conditions, increasing the risk of altitude sickness and other health complications.

NaropaCare, a targeted public health intervention program by Live to Love International, is designed to bridge critical healthcare gaps in Ladakh’s most underserved communities. Using a community-centered approach, the program enhances healthcare accessibility through large-scale outreach, preventive screenings, and capacity-building efforts.

By integrating direct service delivery, healthcare system strengthening, and community engagement, NaropaCare aims to reduce preventable morbidity and mortality, improve healthcare access, and build reselience in Himalaya’s marginalized populations.
