Our vision is to establish a sustainable medical provision on Kyrgyzstan’s Lenin Peak in the next five years, and to ultimately develop excellent training and research opportunities for medics interested in high mountain medicine.

In the summer of 2025 we had several experienced British Mountain Medicine Society (BMMS) colleagues open two clinics on the mountain.

We treated several climbers with a variety of life and limb threatening ailments, including High Altitude Cerebral Edema, High Altitude Pulmonary Edema and Frostbite.

We also assisted the local population in managing pain and seeking a diagnosis and treatment plan for chronic health issues.

We created the map below as an educational tool to identify areas at risk for high altitude sickness along the main route to the summit.
