Drepung Gomang Monastery provides its resident monks and people from the nearby villages with medical assistance through its Community Dispensary. All of the staff are monk volunteers who help everyone who comes to its doors. Dr. Sherab Gyatso is the chief medical officer of the clinic which is open to the public daily from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Medical consultations are free, and the charges for medicines are minimal. The continuance of this medical care is dependent entirely upon the generosity of donors. Any assistance would be gladly welcomed!
