International Society for Mountain Medicine

The International Society for Mountain Medicine (ISMM) is a global organization dedicated to promoting health in mountainous regions. It focuses on understanding and addressing medical challenges faced by people who live in or travel to high-altitude areas, where conditions can affect health due to lower oxygen levels and harsher environments. The society brings together experts from various fields, including medicine, research, and outdoor safety, to share knowledge, advance research, and improve healthcare practices in mountain settings. Through education and collaboration, ISMM aims to enhance the well-being of those in these unique and often challenging locations.
