Last update: 5 hours agoDialysis Access: Frequent breakdowns at Trashigang Hospital’s dialysis unit are forcing 10 patients to travel elsewhere for treatment. Poor water quality and ageing equipment are blamed; patients warn delays can cause breathing difficulties. Ageing Population: Bhutan’s working-age population is projected to peak around 2031, raising concerns about future healthcare, long-term care and pension needs. The World Bank urges action before the country ages without first reaching high-income status. Early Childhood Care: Save the Children Bhutan says more than 2,000 children are reached through early-learning centres and home-based programmes, but care for children under three remains a gap.
