Last update: 9 hours ago

Homegrown kidney care: Bhutan launched home-based peritoneal dialysis (PD), giving kidney patients a lower-cost option instead of frequent hospital haemodialysis trips. TB control push: Bhutan’s Ministry of Health is stepping up prevention, early diagnosis, contact screening and community support to tackle drug-resistant TB, while noting treatment success remains above 90%. Mental health expansion: PEMA has broadened mental health and protection services nationwide, including maternal mental health screening, teacher training for wellbeing, and adolescent screening tools. Food safety crackdown: BFDA tightened mango import controls after calcium carbide was detected in consignments, increasing lab testing and surveillance. Health system upgrades via India PTA: New India-funded projects include renovating Gelephu Hospital, setting up a National Traditional Medicine Hospital and Selwa Centre for persons with disabilities, plus disaster response capacity. Disaster resilience training: Bhutan is training engineers and planners to assess and retrofit infrastructure for hazards like earthquakes and floods, aiming to reduce future damage. Local livelihoods at stake: Cordyceps collectors in Naro Gewog withheld sales after prices fell, citing limited buyer competition and uncertainty. Early childhood flexibility: ECCD centres may adjust operating hours based on local needs, as long as child safety and developmental quality are maintained.
