ACC drops cases against former JDWNRH president; family alleges wrongful implication

Family members of former President of Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hospital (JDWNRH) Lhab Dorji have alleged wrongful implication and institutional failure after the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) closed two long-running investigations into the handling of private donations and the establishment of a radiotherapy facility at the national referral hospital.
