Achievements and Perfomiance SORP refemnc4 Summary of the main achievements of the ¢harity, identifying the difference the charily's work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as whole. The Travel and High Altitude Medicine booklet remains a popular download from our website. Briefly the website went down due to technical Soare issues and we were able lo solve these issues quickly when users pointed out that the download was not working. The problem had arisen because our WordPress website needed some security upgrades and this highlighted the need to have some long tenn funds in place to maintain the websit8. Para 1.20 The Medex App (The electronic fomi of Travel and High Altrtude booklet in all 18 languages) remains fully functional though this too will require long tefm funding to maintain. As mentioned in the summary above. it is unlikely that further field research at altitude will be undertaken by Medical Expedilions because of the prohibitive cost of insurance.
