The new hospital for the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences (MNUMS) is expected to open in July 2018. Construction work has begun in the Bayanzurkh district of Ulaanbaatar. The Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and Kanto Construction are building the new hospital with a non-refundable aid package of MNT 174 billion and 400 million from the Japanese government.

The new hospital will be able to serve over 180 thousand people a year and 150 doctors will be employed to make specialized diagnosis using tomography, MRI and angiography for almost 9,000 people annually. In addition, the hospital will be able to undertake over 2000 surgical operations and cater for 4,300 long-stay patients.

In total, 92 percent of 43 thousand Mongolian health workers graduated from MNUMS.  This year the University is marking the 75th anniversary since it was first opened.
