Introduction and Aims Bhutan has a high incidence of alcohol‐related disease. With economic development, motorised transport is proliferating, increasing the potential for traffic injury. We investigated drink‐driving in the country's largest urban environment. Methods Working with police, we set up checkpoints at major thoroughfares in Thimphu, on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday nights, from May to July 2017. Police directed cars to testing bays where drivers were breathalysed and interviewed. Results All 1596 drivers stopped by police were breathalysed, and 212 (13%) tested positive. Blood alcohol of >0.02 g/dL (which we defined as ‘probable impairment’) was detected in 178 drivers (11%), while 67 (4.2%) exceeded the legal limit of 0.08 g/dL. Probable impairment was more common in men, older drivers, on Tuesdays (versus Fridays or Saturdays) and later at night. Conclusion Drink‐driving is very common at night‐time in Bhutan. Routine roadside random breath‐testing, and media campaigns emphasising the risk of apprehension and consequent serious financial and social penalties, should be considered to deter drink‐driving.

Introduction: The use of lower-limb prostheses restores functional mobility and improves quality of life for people with lower limb amputation. However, the use of prostheses is significantly impacted by users’ satisfaction with their prostheses and service delivery. Therefore, the excellence of prosthetic rehabilitation is not only assessed by the number of prostheses users but is also determined by the level of satisfaction with the prostheses and services received. The study was conducted to determine prostheses use and satisfaction among people with lower-limb amputation. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among lower-limb prosthetic users in 10 districts of Bhutan. Data was collected by face-to-face interview using the Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST) questionnaire. Participants were recruited by purposive sampling. Results: The study found that 96.4% of persons with lower-limb amputation currently used prostheses and 79% of them have used it for more than 7 hours/day. However, 44% of prostheses needed repair. The total QUEST score of satisfaction was 4.0 (SD 0.5). Conclusion: Majority of lower-limb prostheses are in use and the users reported being quite satisfied with their prostheses and service delivery. The study recommends initiating follow-up services to improve prosthetic use and overall satisfaction scores for both prostheses and service delivery.
