Doctors in high demand on 'roof of the world'

Cering Gyaco, a 30-year-old Tibetan father and graduate of the medical school of Tibet University, is the hospital head and one of only four doctors here. He was transferred to the hospital four and a half years ago from another township in Nagarze, just three days after his daughter's birth, and has lived away from his wife and daughter since then.

Doctors in Pumaqangtang usually serve for five years in the town, so Cering can expect to go home in about six months.

There are only two seasons in Pumaqangtang - three months of summer and nine months of winter.
