The Director General of Department of Medical Services, Ugen Dophu, said it would help to respond immediately to the emergency health services in rural areas.

The Chief Representative of JICA office in Bhutan, Yumiko Asakuma, said with rapid growth and development in the transport system, these ambulances would contribute to give timely health services.

The ambulances in the country are more than 16 years old while the life span of an ambulance is just 10 years given the road condition and its frequent movement.

During the first phase, Japanese government provided 26 ambulances in 2011.
