THE LINK | About








Opportunity for Life, Inc. is a U.S. nonprofit organization founded in 2014 by three physicians: one Bhutanese and two Americans. Its purpose is to improve the lives of mothers, neonates, and children in low and middle resource countries through medical care and health education.
The first project of the Opportunity for Life was the facilitation of Bhutan's inclusion in the multi-centered study of the maternal and neonatal prevalence of GBS (group B streptococcus) funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
THE LINK Bhutan is the second project of Opportunity for Life envisioned and created specifically for Bhutan to provide educational opportunities for residents, consultants, and staff. It primarily involves the department of obstetrics and gynecology but will overlap with other related areas. The goal is to improve the lives of the women and children in Bhutan consistent with the vision of the Ministry of Health of the Kingdom of Bhutan and the Khesar Gyalpo University of Medical Sciences of Bhutan.
