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.
