Ulaanbaatar, March 24, 2023 /MONTSAME/. Under the Law on Health and Medical Care and
Services, a Working Group to draw up recommendations and conclusions on
improving the quality and availability of medical care and services for mothers
and infants was formed on May 10, 2022. The Head of the Working Group Ms.
Anujin, and members Ms. Jargalmaa and Mr. Tuvaan visited the Development center
for Disabled Children on March 22.
The Head of the Working Group Ms. Anujin said “We are
working on developing a comprehensive curriculum for disabled children and it
will be presented soon. The curriculum will allow disabled children to study in
normal schools and socialize. Lack of inclusive policy leads disabled children
to live in shadow. This is a crucial issue that should be considered as
important as the National security issue. The Package Law on Social Insurance
will be discussed at the State Great Khural’s spring session. So, any
recommendations related to allowances for parents who take care of their disabled
children at home are welcomed.”
The Development Center for Children with Disabilities,
built with a grant from China, operates with the main mission of providing
evidence based health, education, and social rehabilitation services to
disabled children aged 0-18 in nine districts of the capital city and 21 aimags.
The rehabilitation services include movement therapy, speech therapy, physical
therapy, water therapy, food therapy, medical therapy and nursery care. The
center is equipped with over 120 types of modern physical therapy tools and
equipment.
