Secondment of German doctors to our Hospital at Punakha

Great part of the success and recognition of our hospital in Punakha we owe to the secondment  of very dedicated German doctors to the hospital: from  1998 to 2000 Dr. med. Martin Joos.   From 2001 to 2005 Dr. med. Johannes Meixner.

These 2 secondments were financed to a larger extent by CIM, the Centre for International Migration and Development, Frankfurt, the other part by “Pro Bhutan”. Unfortunately, CIM could not continue to support this project, the limit being 5 years.

Following this period, “Pro Bhutan” was able, in co-operation with the NGO “Senior Experts Service”, Germany, to second Dr. Hans Winkler for 9 months and Dr. Werner Missalek for 6 months to our hospital in Punakha. Both did, with highest motivation, an excellent job..

Dr. med. Susanne Mc Allister As of mid March  2008 “Pro Bhutan” has seconded again a long term doctor for two years to “our” hospital in Punakha: MD Susanne McAllister from Austria.

Pro Bhutan” has to bear the costs for this secondment alone: we need financial support for this extremely useful special project! Can we win you to help? ( please see » HOW TO SUPPORT US )
