Highlights

This publication, co-developed by the Ministry of Health and UNICEF Bhutan, is based on UNICEF's 2025 Child Nutrition Report and UNICEF South Asia's Nourishing South Asia report series. It offers key priorities and an action framework to address the triple burden of malnutrition among children and adolescents in Bhutan. Special focus is given to obesity and the obesogenic food environment, due to limited information on this aspect of malnutrition.
