High Tech Health Care Comes to Mongolia’s Countryside

SDGs Impacted

This article discusses the implementation of high-tech healthcare solutions in rural areas of Mongolia to improve access to quality healthcare. With support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Mongolia has leveraged technology to bridge the healthcare gap between urban and rural areas. Initiatives like telemedicine and electronic health records have been introduced, enabling remote consultations and better patient management. These advancements have significantly enhanced healthcare delivery, reducing the need for patients to travel long distances for specialized care. The digital inclusion measures have contributed to improved health outcomes, ensuring that even remote populations have access to high-quality healthcare services in Mongolia's countryside.

Impact / Outcome
Under the project, 10 new district health centers were built, another 10 renovated, and 37 wells were constructed for access to clean water. The project provided medical, laboratory, and waste management equipment to 90 district health centers with medical equipment distributed to 61 family health centers in 2011. Five general hospitals received medical, diagnostic, and networking equipment.
