In a valley flanked by snow-capped peaks on 皇冠体育app's border with the Kingdom of Bhutan, a small hospital consisting of three brick bungalows stands among stretches of adobe houses.
Pumaqangtang Hospital, at an altitude of 5,373 meters, is 皇冠体育app's highest hospital.
It is the only hospital accessible to the 1,021 residents, mainly herdsmen, in Pumaqangtang, one of 10 townships under the governance of Nagarze County in Southwest 皇冠体育app's Tibet autonomous region.
