On behalf of the Bhutan Health Trust Fund (BHTF), His Excellency Lyonpo Tandin Wangchuk, Chairperson of BHTF, gratefully received a generous donation from the people of Trongsa Dzongkhag. The contribution was raised through the Health Walk held on 7th April, 2025, in celebration of World Health Day under the theme “Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures.”
The event saw the active participation of over 150 individuals, including members of the business community, regional office staff, the Dratshang, teachers, students, and Royal Bhutan Police personnel.

 

The walk, totaling 17.4 kilometers, was flagged off at Yid Zhin Throm by the Dzongdag, Dzongkhag Thrizin, and Dratshang Drungchen.
Participants made their way to Thubtencholing Buddhist Lobdra and back, raising funds and promoting awareness on healthy living. Contributions were also collected from travelers along the route.
The day concluded with engaging health-related programs and a lively lottery draw, reinforcing community spirit and the shared goal of a healthier Bhutan.
The Chairperson extended his heartfelt appreciation to the Dzongdag, Thrizin, Public Health Officer, and the entire Trongsa community for their solidarity, dedication, and generous support. Their contribution will go a long way in ensuring the uninterrupted supply of essential drugs and vaccines, thereby sustaining primary health care services across the nation.
