AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Health Investment: India handed Bhutan Nu 2.9 billion under the 13th Five-Year Plan for projects including healthcare and development of a super-specialty hospital. Health Workforce: Bhutan faces shortages of 366 nurses, 120 general doctors and 139 specialists. Recruitment has outpaced departures in recent years, but the Health Ministry says gaps remain and is developing a workforce strategy. Older Adults’ Mental Health: Bhutan has no psychiatrist specializing in old-age mental health, despite older people making up 13% of psychiatry patients at JDWNRH in 2025; depression was the most common diagnosis among them.
