Malaria Watch: As monsoon nears, Bhutan’s health authorities are stepping up prevention in southern dzongkhags after 144 malaria cases in 2024—over four times the year before—linked to outbreaks in India’s Assam and West Bengal, with officials warning that porous borders and mosquito spread can drive cross-border transmission. Hospital Flow: Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hospital is reducing consultation waiting times by expanding an appointment-based system, though many patients still rely on the older token method. Energy Planning Reset: MoENR is recalibrating its 13th Five-Year Plan after a mid-term review flagged implementation gaps and weak links between spending and outcomes. Conservation & Disaster Tech: Bhutan is exploring near-daily satellite monitoring with Planet Labs to track vegetation shifts, support agriculture, and improve landslide and fire preparedness. Sports Grassroots: The Bhutan Badminton Federation is training teachers and sports instructors in Tsirang and plans to supply equipment to schools.
