Group & Expedition Bookings — Medical Support for Whole Teams
Bringing 4+ people to Nepal? Email info@thamelclinic.org with your group size, route, and dates. We block back-to-back appointment slots, prepare everyone's paperwork in advance, and give your group a dedicated medical point of contact for the entire trip.
Trekking Groups & Expeditions
Group pre-trek health screenings for 4+ trekkers: individual physician review, group Diamox prescriptions, personalized acclimatization plans per route, and a pre-departure group briefing on AMS warning signs.
- Group slots: all members seen back-to-back in one visit
- Per-person written plans & medication kits
- Optional: medical escort consultation for expedition leaders
School & University Expeditions
World Challenge, Duke of Edinburgh, and university research trips need documented health protocols. We handle the full medical clearance workflow for entire student groups with teacher/chaperone coordination.
- Group vaccination schedules weeks before departure
- Individual medical summary forms for teachers
- Written emergency protocols with our contact for the lead guide
- Parent-facing health briefing documentation
NGO & Corporate Field Teams
Development organizations, film crews, and corporate retreats deploying staff into rural Nepal get pre-deployment health briefings, vaccination drives, and an on-call medical liaison during field operations.
- Direct monthly invoicing — no per-visit payment hassle
- Field-incident WhatsApp liaison during deployment
- Pre-deployment physicals + health risk assessments
How It Works
- 2–6 weeks before: email group details (size, route, medical conditions summary). We send individual intake forms.
- Week before trek: group visits together — every member gets personal physician review, vaccines/altitude meds dispensed on-site.
- During trek: your lead guide has our WhatsApp — symptom photos and questions reach a clinician during clinic hours.
- After trek: post-trek debrief if needed — persistent symptoms get assessed before you fly home.
- Billing: one consolidated invoice for the group or individual insurance packets — your choice.
The Group Medical Need
A trekking group of ten does not need ten separate clinic visits — it needs a coordinated session where everyone gets assessed, vaccinated, or briefed efficiently. The group booking exists for the expedition team, the tour group, the corporate deployment — the situation where individual visits are impractical and the group needs the same service together.
Group service categories
- Pre-trek medicals — fitness assessment for the whole team
- Vaccination clinics — group immunization sessions
- Health briefings — altitude illness, food safety, trail health
- First aid training — for guides and group leaders
- Corporate packages — organizations with staff health needs
The Logistics
Group bookings are scheduled around regular patient flow — dedicated sessions that do not make the group wait behind individual consultations. Advance notice (1–2 weeks) ensures staffing and supplies are ready; the group that books ahead gets the efficient session rather than the queue. For on-site services at hotels or agencies, the coordination includes travel time and setup.
The Group Discount
For the groups (the trekking groups, the corporate teams, the educational groups) — the group booking that may include the volume discount and the coordinated services.
The Coordination
Group health coordination — the pre-trek health screening for the group members, the group medical kit that supplements the individual kits, and the communication plan for the group's medical needs.
The Corporate
For the corporate groups — the trek that is organized for the team building, the company retreat, or the client entertainment. For the corporate booking, the group logistics that are managed.
The Educational
For the educational groups — the school/university trek that combines the adventure with the learning. For the educational trek, the curriculum that is integrated.
The Corporate
Corporate group booking — the team health check (the pre-trek screening that is coordinated), the vaccination clinic that is arranged, and the itinerary that is managed.
