Abstract

Following the implementation of Bhutan’s first Five-Year Plan in 1961, the national healthcare system underwent a remarkable transformation. From its humble beginnings in primary healthcare, the country now offers anesthesia and surgical services nationwide. Despite this progress, the healthcare system continues to face persistent shortages in human resources and infrastructure, particularly in the field of anesthesia. This perspective offers a comprehensive historical overview of anesthesia services in Bhutan, while highlighting challenges and presenting recommendations for future improvement.
