Tenzin Wangyal, who has been working in a mobile clinic for more than a decade, recalls an incident in 2019 when an elderly man fainted while digging for caterpillar fungus on the mountain, and his condition became critical. The doctor drove the urgently ill man to meet the ambulance in town, and he later fully recovered in hospital.

In the challenging high-altitude environment, the presence of mobile clinics has created a health safety net for herdsmen.
