Abstract
In Bhutan, the sMen-jong So-rig Pharmaceuticals (MSP) is the only traditional medicine manufacturing unit. Since the traditional medicine hospitals are now availing diverse treatment methods for the patients, they are attracting an increasing number of patients every year. This has resulted in the shortage of medicines in the traditional medicine clinics. This study aims to investigate the problems that cause the shortage of traditional drugs in the hospitals. Data was collected by interviewing and administering questionnaires to the stakeholders. The findings of the study indicated a mismatch between the demand and supply of medicines resulting in the shortage of some medicines and wastage of the others.
