There are many aspects of health and safety when it comes to coming home safely from a trek or expedition, and returning to normal city life. One of them is preserving health while enjoying the mountain sport. And since this is a group activity, it is strongly advisable that there are mechanisms in place to take care of anticipated and at times un-anticipated health events while away from the relative safety of our cities.
A doctor accompanying a group is a great asset and so is a qualified or experienced first aider. Proper knowledge, a well equipped medical kit & knowledge of nearby health centers can help manage many health incidents during most treks. We strongly recommend that our leaders / instructors attend a wilderness first aid course.
We organise wilderness first aid course for our leaders / instructors. Dr. Milind Chitley, MBBS and a mountaineer has been imparting his knowledge on First Aid to the members.
