AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Local Health & Community: In Trongsa, Pema Namgyel’s “Willing” comeback story turns a former quarry into the Willing Waterfall Café and Willing Resort—built around local culture and community, a reminder that wellbeing also grows from belonging. Regional Health Risks: Bhutan is bracing for a monsoon-linked malaria uptick, citing 144 cases in 2024 and warning that cross-border mosquito spread from India’s Assam and West Bengal could raise risks. Care Access: Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hospital is expanding appointment-based visits to cut waiting times, though many patients still rely on the older token system. Health Systems & Planning: MoENR says Bhutan’s 13th FYP needs a strategic reset after a mid-term review flagged gaps between spending and outcomes. Environment & Public Health: Bhutan is exploring near-daily satellite monitoring to spot landslide, fire, and water risks earlier—aiming for faster disaster preparedness and better planning.
