This initiative marks a major step forward in bringing life-saving treatment closer to the people, particularly for those living with chronic kidney disease. With this new unit, care is now available closer to home, making it more convenient for both patients and their families.

Despite space constraints, the hospital while working closely with the Dzongkhag Administration converted its administrative block into a fully functional dialysis unit. The refurbishment was supported by the Dzongkhag, demonstrating strong local leadership and commitment to improving health services.

Currently, around 50 patients from Trashigang are undergoing dialysis, and this facility is expected to benefit many more from nearby dzongkhags including Trashiyangtse, Pema Gatshel, and Samdrup Jongkhar.

The event was attended by the Hon’ble Opposition Leader, National Council Member of Trashigang, Dasho Dzongda, Dasho SP, WHO Representative, and local government officials. His Excellency expressed heartfelt appreciation to the Dzongkhag Administration especially Dasho Dzongda for the unwavering support and leadership in making this initiative possible.
