Building on a partnership that began in 1982, this CCS seeks to ensure the greatest possible contribution to the health and development outcomes of Bhutan. It aligns with the country\u2019s 13th Five-Year Plan (2024\u20132029), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2024\u20132028 and the WHO Fourteenth General Programme of Work (GPW 14, 2025\u20132028).<\/p>\n<p>Bhutan has made remarkable progress in health outcomes. Maternal mortality dropped significantly from 255 per 100 000 live births in 2000 to 53 in 2023 while under-five mortality declined from 84 per 1000 live births in 2000 to 19.5 in 2023. Immunization coverage remains robust at over 99% and institutional delivery rates have reached 98.5%, as per National Health Survey (NHS) 2023. Almost all households (99.7%) and the overall population (99.7%) have access to improved drinking water sources.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4\">\n<div class=\"dynamic-content__details\">\n<div class=\"detail who-team\">\n<div class=\"label\">WHO Team<\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">\n                 <span><br \/>\nBhutan,                  <\/span><br \/>\n                 <span><br \/>\nCountry Strategy and Support (CSS),                  <\/span><br \/>\n                 <span><br \/>\nSEARO region\/countries and areas,                  <\/span><br \/>\n                 <span><br \/>\nSEARO Regional Office for the South East Asia (RGO),                  <\/span><br \/>\n                 <span><br \/>\nWHO South-East Asia                 <\/span>\n         <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<div class=\"label\">Editors<\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">World Health Organization.
