On the road in mountainous Mokhotlong

With a robust all-terrain vehicle, SolidarMed brings medical care to the areas in the highlands of Lesotho where there are no roads and the way to the nearest health centre (especially for elderly and sick people and pregnant women) is hardly reachable. A unique initiative that was launched in 2020 and is making a huge difference to the medically underserved population of Butha-Buthe and Mokhotlong. "The mobile clinic and Nino Schurter have something in common: both are used to mountainous roads", comments Pierina Maibach, Communications Manager of SolidarMed, "this brought us to the idea of combining his athletic activity with his social engagement". Nino Schurter responded directly and positively to this suggestion. He is fascinated by Africa and is looking forward to discovering the country  which is also affectionately called the "kingdom in the sky" due to its high location - by mountain bike.
