The breathtaking Himalayan regions have been drawing an ever-increasing number of visitors, from adventure enthusiasts to spiritual pilgrims, all eager to experience the majesty of high-altitude environments. This surge in popularity has created an exciting opportunity in the field of Hypoxia and Mountain Medicine, an area ripe for exploration and advancement in India.

Recognizing this potential, a forward-thinking group of professionals including doctors, scientists, and seasoned mountaineers has come together with a visionary goal. We created an innovative platform designed to foster scientific research and facilitate the sharing of knowledge and expertise in the specialized fields of Hypoxia and Mountain medicine.

This collaborative initiative aims to unlock the mysteries of high-altitude physiology, focusing on the unique challenges presented by the high-altitude landscapes. By combining medical insight with ground experience, we seek to enhance understanding of hypoxia and its effects on the human body as well as offer services in high-altitude medicine and physiology to those who seek.

Ultimately, this groundbreaking effort will contribute to improving the safety, health, and wellbeing of the many thousands who venture into awe-inspiring high-altitude regions each year, paving the way for more informed and safe mountain exploration

The objects of ISHMM are

• To promote the development of academic, scientific research and training activity in the field of hypoxia as applied to the varied aspects of human health and disease, including hypoxia at High Altitude.
• To conduct training courses, research projects and other academic events in the field of fundamental sciences and science of medicine as relevant to hypoxia in health and disease and to the practice of Medicine in the mountains.
• To promote furthering the cause and science of medicine as relevant to hypoxia in health and disease and to the practice of Medicine in the mountains.
• To create scholarship amongst doctors in general and among practitioners of mountain medicine, researchers, and mountaineers in particular.
• Organize health camps in mountain and high-altitude areas.
• To publish journal, magazines, academic papers and other publications for the promotion of the objectives of the society.

The society will collaborate with institutions, and organizations to work in the domains aligned with its aims and objectives.

We invite professionals in the fields of hypoxia, high-altitude and mountain medicine, mountaineers, and those having interest in these fields to join hands with us.
