Secretary’s Message
The Department of Health (Tibetan Voluntary Health Association), CTA has been promoting a healthy exile Tibetan community, enabling access to primary health care services, since 1981. The Department of Health (DoH) has been able to support the poorest of poor Tibetans during its three decades of service. The DOH’s activities would not have been possible without contribution of staff who rendered their services and other organizations and individual donors who have extended their humanitarian aid. This newsletter dedicated to one year service of our Kalon, Dr. Tsering Wangchuk.
