On 11th March 2026, A WOAH PVS (Performance of Veterinary Services) mission team visited the National Veterinary Hospital (NVH) as part of its ongoing evaluation of Bhutan’s veterinary services. The mission aimed to review the progress made since the previous assessment conducted in 2015 and to identify existing gaps and opportunities to further strengthen veterinary services in the country.
During the visit, the Head of the National Veterinary Hospital briefed the mission team on the hospital’s organizational structure, mandates, and the range of veterinary services provided. The team was also introduced to the hospital’s role in delivering clinical care, disease diagnosis, treatment, and specialized veterinary services that support the national animal health system.
The visit provided an opportunity for the mission team to assess improvements made over the years, understand current operational challenges, and provide recommendations that will contribute to enhancing the efficiency and quality of veterinary services in Bhutan.
