Healthcare System in Bhutan[edit | edit source]

The healthcare system in Bhutan is primarily funded by the government, ensuring that healthcare services are provided free of charge to all citizens. The Ministry of Health oversees the administration and management of healthcare services across the country. Bhutan's healthcare system is structured into three levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary care.

Primary Care[edit | edit source]

Primary care is delivered through Basic Health Units (BHUs) and outreach clinics. These facilities are the first point of contact for patients and provide preventive, promotive, and curative services.

Secondary Care[edit | edit source]

Secondary care is provided by district hospitals, which offer more specialized services than BHUs. These hospitals are equipped to handle more complex medical cases and provide inpatient care.

Tertiary Care[edit | edit source]

Tertiary care is provided by the national referral hospitals, such as the Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hospital in Thimphu. These hospitals offer advanced medical services and are equipped with specialized medical equipment and staff.
