Abstract
- Many popular tourist attractions and trekking routes in Bhutan and Nepal are situated between 3000 and 6000 m in elevation. High-altitude emergencies are becoming more common and medical providers must be aware of the practical and medical issues in managing these disorders. We reflect on the challenges in providing high-altitude emergency medical services in Bhutan and Nepal.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors have no disclosures to report.<br /> (Copyright © 2023.
