Among the most important events that we celebrate together as Bhutanese is National Day- 17th December, marking the momentous occasion in the year 1907, when Gongsar Ugyen Wangchuck was unanimously crowned King of Bhutan. From that day on, Bhutan entered a new era of unprecedented peace and prosperity, guided by the incomparable leadership of our successive Kings.

When most of us stayed at home during the lockdown in August, health workers were among the frontline workers working tirelessly everyday, carrying out thousands of tests, caring for patients and ensuring health services were accessible to the people even during lockdown.

It has been 5 months since the first COVID-19 case was detected in Bhutan- the pandemic continues to disrupt lives and economies globally. Different countries areaddressing the challenge in their own ways, with varying degrees of success.
