Despite the nationwide lockdown, the health ministry has managed to keep essential medical services running uninterrupted across Bhutan. 

Services like mother and childcare, immunisation, reproductive health, emergencies, care for vulnerable population (infants and elderlies above 60 years) including persons with disabilities and medication for ongoing management of chronic diseases including mental health, among others continues to be available in all the health centres.

Health Secretary Dr Ugen Dophu said that even before the nationwide lockdown was enforced, all health facilities were asked to dispense refill medicine for three months except for those requiring frequent consultations.
