Bear Mauled Case in Eastern Regional Hospital, Mongar, Bhutan: A Case Report

Bhutan is the first carbon-negative nation and is situated in the eastern Himalayas, one of the ten biodiverse zones in the world. About 69.71% of the country's total land area is covered by forests. (https://kuenselonline.com/timber- harvesting-main-cause-of-forest-health-decline/) As a result of having as much forest as possible, wildlife species of ecological and cultural significance are sufficiently safeguarded. The Bhutan biological dialogue complex protects and manages conversation parks on about 51.32 percent of the county's land area. Although they are rare, bear attacks can leave victims with lethal wounds. Our patient, a 45- year-old man from northeast Bhutan, was attacked by a Himalayan Black bear (Ursus thibetanus). His cheeks and ears were among the many places where he was hurt. He sustained wounds resembling those from mauling documented in the existing literature, and their recovery required both quick interventions and a multidisciplinary plan.
