Central Regional Referral Hospital

The Central Regional Referral Hospital (CRRH) located in Gelephu, Sarpang Dzongkhag, is one of Bhutan’s key healthcare facilities serving the southern region. Established to provide advanced medical care and specialist services, CRRH caters to a wide population from Sarpang and neighboring dzongkhags such as Tsirang, Dagana, and Zhemgang. It plays a pivotal role in delivering tertiary healthcare, including emergency services, inpatient and outpatient care, diagnostics, surgery, maternal and child health, and specialized treatment. Equipped with modern medical technology and staffed by skilled healthcare professionals, the hospital also functions as a teaching and training center, improving the quality of healthcare delivery in Bhutan. CRRH continuously strives to enhance health outcomes through community outreach, health education programs, and collaborative efforts with the Ministry of Health and other agencies. Its mission is to provide compassionate, efficient, and quality healthcare accessible to all residents in the southern region of Bhutan. The chorten not only serves religious purposes but also holds historical and cultural value for the community. It is believed to have been built to subdue negative energies and promote harmony in the region. Locals often visit the site to offer butter lamps and circumambulate the stupa, especially during auspicious days. The annual “Monlam Chenmo” prayer ceremony conducted at the chorten is a major spiritual event, attracting lamas and laypeople alike. Surrounded by natural beauty, Monlem Gangtap Chorten continues to be a place of deep devotion and spiritual renewal.
