Press Release: Supply of Essential Medicines to Bhutan

In keeping with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s assurance that India would stand by its close friend and neighbour, Bhutan in fighting the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Government of India through Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj handed over today a consignment of medical supplies to Health Minister Dechen Wangmo, including Hydroxychloroquine tablets, that have proved to be useful in the clinical management and recovery of COVID-19 patients.

India’s gesture to continue delivery of essential medicines is a testimony to the unique bonds of trust and understanding between India and Bhutan over decades. India would continue to extend all possible support to Bhutan to minimize the health and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
