The expedition provided essential medical care by automating medical services and digitizing medical records, deployed in the remote health posts of the Everest Region of Nepal during October/2019. The entire team involved in this project provided pro bono skills to design the platform. Goal was to deploy the designed solution to the local Sherpa communities and train the health care workers at Khunde Hospital. The team also donated laptops and computer equipment to enable the remote health posts to access the solution in the Cloud. This project was innovative and ground breaking, one which will have a deep positive impact on the lives of the Sherpa people of the Everest Region, especially important after the losses the Everest Region has endured from the April/2015 earthquake which killed ~9000 people and injured ~22000 people across Nepal. We started at Lukla and after 8 days trekking we reached base camp at an elevation of 5689 meters.
During the covid pandemic I did solo the famous Tour Du Mont Blanc, completing 130 km in 14 days and reaching elevation of 2900meters passing Switzerland, Italy and Austria.
This expedition was a successful failure, me and an old friend of mine Yiannis as we were trying to reach the top we got a really bad snowstorm during the night at an elevation of 1900 meters, the snow was up to our waist making in extreme difficult to proceed, we have managed to escape by rushing downhill with only our pride broken. I have made a promise to myself to conquer this mountain and a date is yet to be decided.
