Setting the tone for the three-day PEMA Symposium, Dasho Dechen Wangmo, Head of PEMA Secretariat encapsulates Bhutan’s mental health journey until today.
Speaking about how the PEMA was born from the deep compassion of Her Majesty The Gyaltsuen and with profound understanding that mental health challenges are not overcome within the walls of hospitals alone, the institution rolled out initiatives that were unprecedented in Bhutan’s health chapters.
“Today, the PEMA’s journey is not just the journey of the institution alone, but that of Bhutan’s in enhancing people’s happiness and wellbeing,” Dasho said.
