BACKGROUNDThe Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been Mongolia’s key health sector development partner since 1993, providing five loans totaling $84.90 million, seven grants totaling $37.00 million, and 15 technical assistance (TA) projects totaling $10.65 million. The past projects achieved significant results through comprehensive health system support and strengthening, including for PHC reform and investments, information and communications technology, medicine and pharmaceutical procurement reforms, establishment of health insurance, health infrastructure, and sector governance. Despite these achievements, Mongolia faces a continuing burden from both communicable and noncommunicable diseases, resulting in premature mortality and high levels of disability, which prevent the nation from fulfilling its economic potential.
This Project aims to support in improving health care services to marginalized populations in Ulaanbaatar ger area, Khovd and Uvs aimags, and in selected soums, development of health financing system and procurement capacity nationwide. Emergency medical care will be strengthened by providing infrastructure and medical equipment. More information about the project can be obtained from: https://www.adb.org/projects/49173-003/main
