methods of providing primary medical care. She noted, “Mongolia
has formed its own system of providing primary medical care in its rural areas with a small, scattered population. The participants of the Seventh Forum approve such a system and admit the importance of familiarizing this system at the international level.
Therefore, we are interested in putting Mongolia as a model country at the
international summit which will be organized the coming October in Astana, Kazakhstan.
This is important in improving the accessibility of comprehensive primary
health care to households living in rural areas far from the centers”.
The sides expressed their confidence in further expansion and development of cooperation between
Mongolia and WHO towards protecting health and improving the
quality of life of Mongolians.
