"Move for Health" |
Notification:To get details of the Audit Report from 1998 to June 2005 of Bhutan Health Trust Fund, Please click on the following link:BackgroundAt the core of Bhutan’s development
philosophy lies the physical and spiritual well-being of its people within a
safe and secure environment. Thus,
investments in the social sector have always been accorded the highest priority.
However, the sustainability of past accomplishments and future
initiatives has become a daunting challenge for Bhutan as a least developed
country (LDC). In the vital sector
of health, the key concern of the Royal Government of Bhutan is how to enhance
the accessibility and quality of Primary Health Care Services against rising
costs and competing needs. The idea
of a Trust Fund presents itself as a novel and dependable alternative for
financing the priority needs of vaccines, essential drugs and needles &
syringes. DATE OF INITIATION/LAUNCHING Bhutan Health Trust Fund was initiated in 1997 and formally launched at WHO Headquarters in Geneva on 12 May 1998. The launching of the Fund was attended by 35 participants including WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA and Helvetas.
