  • The Gross National Happiness Framework and the Health System Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Bhutan
    Am. J. Trop. Med. Hyg., 104(2), 2021, pp. 441–445 doi:10.4269/ajtmh.20-1416 Copyright © 2021 by The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene Perspective Piece The Gross National Happiness Framework and the Health System Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Bhutan Thinley Dorji* Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hospital, Thimphu, Bhutan; Kidu Mobile Medical Unit, His Majesty’s People’s Project, Thimphu, Bhutan Abstract. Bhutan is a lower-middle–income country with limited tertiary-care health infrastructure and shortage of human resources. The country’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic is guided by the principle of Gross National Happiness (GNH), which prioritizes the well-being and happiness of people over conventional socioeconomic indicators. The king’s leadership and government’s decisions based on public health science helped in the control of the pandemic and reduce economic losses. The government implemented some unique and unconventional public health measures such as facility quarantine for those with high-risk exposure, an increase in quarantine period to 21 days, free testing and treatment, and population-based screening tests. Early and extensive contact tracing, extensive testing, effective communications, zoned travel restrictions, and adoption of physical distancing and hygiene measures limited COVID-19 transmissions within the country. Community participation from voluntary groups and civil society organizations helped deliver non-health services while hospitals provided uninterrupted routine health services through its primary healthcare network. All COVID-19 cases were treated in hospitals, and the country has had zero reported COVID-19 deaths. This article describes how the concept of GNH provided the framework for the government to respond to this pandemic.

The present research data revealed that total species richness of 33 and 24 number of fish species were identified in river Ganga and Yamuna respectively. The size group of mahseer (400-460mm) recorded as a dominant size of catch composition and contributed about 36.8% and 42.6% based on different sampling sites in river Yamuna and Ganga respectively. The populations of Tor tor, T. putitora have shown a decreasing trend at very alarming rate and influenced the sex ratio, maturity size and natural breeding condition. Only 12.5 to 14.8% mahseer female brooders have shown maturity phase or emenable to release ova during particular breeding seasons.
