  His Majesty The King visited Goensho Tshamkhang in Wangsisina, Thimphu yesterday. The Tshamkhang was built under His Majesty’s People’s Project. 

The facility was built upon the command of His Majesty to adequately address the needs of elderly citizens with no caregivers.

Completed in June, the Tshamkhang has 13 cottages and will be able to accommodate up to 78 inhabitants.

At present, it has 19 inhabitants who are all recipients of His Majesty’s Gensho Zhabto Kidu.

The recipients of the Gensho Zhabto Kidu are senior citizens who do not have a family, or whose families are unable to care for them.

The Tshamkhang has administrative offices, nurse’s office, a common kitchen, and common areas with spaces for prayers and recreation.

It is also equipped with accessible toilets and is landscaped to allow wheelchair access.

The Goensho Tshamkhang will be a place for elderly people who do not have family members to look after them, to live, pray and receive medical care.

A number of such elderly people across the country have been recipients of His Majesty’s Gensho Kidu in the form of monthly allowances.

However, some of the recipients are unable to care for themselves. Others do not have a place to live in.

Many of the current inhabitants were temporarily accommodated at the Kidu Pateint Guest House in Thimphu.
