Healthcare

Healthcare is a priority in Bhutan, with the government investing heavily in the country’s health system to ensure that all citizens have access to quality healthcare services. The healthcare system in Bhutan is based on a public-private partnership, with the government responsible for providing free primary and secondary healthcare services, while private healthcare providers supplement these services.

The Bhutanese healthcare system has made significant progress in recent years, with the government investing in infrastructure, equipment, and training for healthcare workers, and in the development of national health programs, such as the Essential Health Services program and the National Referral Hospital.

The Bhutanese government is committed to ensuring that all citizens have access to quality healthcare services, regardless of their location or financial status. The country has made significant progress in reducing maternal and child mortality rates, and in controlling infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis and malaria.

Despite these achievements, Bhutan still faces challenges in terms of the availability of healthcare services, particularly in rural areas, and in ensuring the quality of healthcare services. The Bhutanese government is committed to addressing these challenges and to continuing to invest in the country’s health system.

Overall, the healthcare system in Bhutan is well-developed, with a strong emphasis on public health, and is committed to providing quality healthcare services to all citizens. The government is committed to addressing the challenges that remain and to improving access to healthcare services for all Bhutanese people.
