Medical equipment provided for central hospitals of 21 aimags
SocietyUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Today, April 2, medical devices purchased
with funding from the government reserve fund, World Bank, and the Asian
Development Bank were handed to the authorities of health care facilities of 21
aimags.
Specifically, each aimag received equipment much needed for
the fight against COVID-19 such as a ventilator, oxygen concentrator, and a steam
inhaler. Also, portable X-ray machines were presented to Selenge aimag’s
hospital and the Third State Central Hospital.
Previously, essential medications and medical tools and equipment had been purchased with MNT 4.2 billion from the government reserve fund for Ulaanbaatar district hospitals only. The devices being allocated today to local hospitals were therefore purchased with government reserve funds and support from an ADB project and WB, Health Minister D.Sarangerel noted at the hand-over event.
