Every year for the past five years, a group of Kiwi medical specialists have travelled over to the remote mountains of Ladakh on the border of India and Nepal to provide free healthcare to the region's nomadic peoples.
Last year the group of two doctors and a dentist gave 845 consultations, including providing eye glasses and toothbrushes for the local people.
They're heading back over in July but they need one more doctor to join the team - and some extra funds.
Organiser Mary-Ann Rowland speaks to Mark Leishman.
