ABHL is setting up a full – fledged pharmaceutical plant at Motanga Industrial Park, Samdrup Jongkhar to manufacture, package and distribute wide range of prescription medicines under the brand Azista Bhutan.Such facility would be first of its kind in Bhutan that would manufacture, package and distribute allopathic drugs.
Given the rising demand for pharmaceutical products both in the local and international markets, and the fact that Bhutan has been importing all allopathic drugs from outside, DHI took such initiative not only to curb import but also to promote brand Bhutan in a global market through export of locally manufactured quality pharmaceutical products. Once operational, the company would be manufacturing, packaging and distributing 99 types of products under 17 major therapies. Besides meeting domestic demand for pharmaceutical products, the plant will export to India and abroad.
