The Tibetan Men-Tsee-Khang, institutes were founded in 1916 by the 13th Dalai Lama with one in Lhasa, the Mentsi Dropen Ling, and another at the Chagpori College of Medicine of 1696. The Chagpori institute was bombarded in 1959 in the Lhasa uprising during which the 14th Dalai Lama fled to India, and re-established the Men-Tsee-Khang in 1961 as a charitable medical institution headquartered in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, India to serve the Tibetan diaspora and preserve Tibetan medicine. It is also known as Tibetan Medical & Astro Institute.
