Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/. On September 21, President Kh.
Battulga worked in Khovd aimag. During his working trip, the President visited
the Western Regional Diagnostic and Treatment Center and held a meeting with
its authorities.
The Western Regional Diagnostic and Treatment Center has six
surgical wards, 10 internal medicine wards, eight paraclinic wards, and one
prevention center, employing 438 doctors and health workers and providing
health care services to citizens of five aimags of the western region.
With a purpose to improve the quality of its services, a total of 102 pieces of equipment of 58 types were provided in the framework of a joint project of governments of Mongolia and Belgium. Consequently, it became possible to reduce the number of people to go to Ulaanbaatar from the western region for treatment and diagnosis, and to provide quality medical services in the rural areas. However, the center’s authorities informed that it needs to expand the center, increase its capacity and staff and ensure constant capacity building to provide accessible medical services to the citizens of the five aimags.
While being on a working trip, President Kh. Battulga conferred Glorious Mother Orders to 377 mothers of the aimag and legged the 13rd Armed Forces Unit to meet its authorities.
