Prime Minister S.Batbold today told a meeting of senior health officials that Kuwait will help build a children’s hospital in Ulaanbaatar at a cost of USD35 million, according to an agreement reached during his recent visit to that country. Emphasizing the need and right of every Mongolian citizen to be healthy, educated, employed and housed, Batbold noted that the Government will provide all support to reach this goal.    
He said investment in health has been raised and that both maternal and newborn mortality rates have come down. This is one of the Millennium Development Goals. The Government will set up diagnostic and treatment centers with latest equipment and technology that would meet international standards and hoped this would persuade people not to go to foreign countries for treatment.
