Health Workforce: The country is short about 700 health professionals, including 366 nurses, 120 general duty doctors and 139 specialists, as the Health Ministry develops a workforce strategy. Older People’s Mental Health: Bhutan has no psychiatrist specialising in old-age care, despite older adults making up 13% of patients seen by JDWNRH’s psychiatry service in 2025. The hospital has eight psychiatrists for the country. Health Investment: India has provided Nu 2.90 billion under Bhutan’s 13th Five Year Plan for projects including healthcare and a super-speciality hospital.
