AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Health Workforce: Bhutan is short by about 700 doctors, specialists and nurses, despite recruitment increasing in recent years. The Health Ministry is developing a workforce strategy, as the system loses around 200 health professionals annually. Mental Well-being: A new call to make mental health a national priority says stigma keeps people from seeking help. At a recent symposium, experts also warned that older people’s mental health concerns are often dismissed as normal ageing; about 6.8% of older patients have dementia. Youth Support: Bhutan’s OnMyMind campaign recorded a 16% rise in children contacting support services, while most surveyed adolescents could identify signs of stress.
