Abstract
In surveying the British medical missions in Bhutan it is not the author's intention to enter into the wider debate over the aims and effect of colonial medical policies. Rather it is to focus on one example of the introduction of biomedicine into a specific Himalayan location, and to discuss prominent features of that process, relying primarily on the reports of the Medical Officers themselves as preserved in the Oriental and India Office Library. This review and its conclusions may, however, contribute to that wider debate.
