Lhuentse Hospital

The district hospital for Lhuentse Dzongkhag in northeastern Bhutan, the ancestral home of the Wangchuck royal dynasty. Operating approximately 20 beds, it serves a catchment population of around 15,400 across eight gewogs in one of the country's most remote districts. The hospital provides general medicine, obstetrics, pediatrics, dental care, and emergency services. Lhuentse's geographic isolation — the district capital is roughly a full day's drive from the nearest referral hospital in Mongar — makes this facility essential for emergency and maternal healthcare.
