Despite progress on population health
outcomes in recent decades, malnutrition remains a policy
concern in Bhutan, especially in rural areas and in the
eastern region of the country. Addressing malnutrition is
high on the government agenda, with clear targets,
strategies, and action plans designed to address some
specific malnutrition-related challenges. Assessing the
level, distribution, and composition of public financing for
nutrition is key to informing the design and implementation
of corrective policies. Considering the growing burden of
disease attributable to overnutrition, it is important that
Bhutan’s nutrition action plan prioritizes overnutrition in
addition to undernutrition. |
