MediLoop™

Empowering Khumbu Through Consistent Care

The MediLoop™ is the heart of Snow Leopard International Medicine (SLIM) and represents our commitment to the people and communities. It is a proprietary service model designed to replace sporadic "one-off" health camps with a permanent, reliable presence.

By utilizing a continuous "Infinity Loop" structure, we ensure that no patient is ever abandoned after a single diagnosis.

Our proprietary service model

MediLoop™: The Double-Circuit System

Centered at our Pangboche Base (3,985m), Dr. Shah and the SLIM team move in two distinct geographical wings to maintain two 100-day clinical cycles.

This cyclical motion ensures that every resident knows exactly when the doctor will return for their next check-up or prescription refill.

The West Loop

Covers 19.5 km and serves Deboche, Tengboche, Phortse, and Nauche with frontline care.

The Base: Pangboche

Located at 3,985 m, this central hub supports medicine distribution and patient recovery.

The East Loop

Extends 21 km and serves Khumjung, Khunde, Thamo, and Thame.

Patients know exactly when the doctor will return.
