Quarantine rooms have been established at the Mongolia-Japan Teaching Hospital as a precautionary measure against the novel coronavirus, reported Deputy Director Ts.Erkhembileg. The hospital is Mongolia’s first ever teaching base of the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences (MNUMS).

The 104-bed teaching hospital can provide high quality services and emergency medical assistance, and treat 26 diseases which Mongolia could not cure previously. State-of-the-art medical technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging and angiography have been introduced to the hospital that adopts a team approach to patient-centred care.

The teaching hospital was opened in phases for stable operation and quality healthcare services. Last summer saw the opening of the hospital’s internal medicine outpatient department. The surgical department and inpatient wards were opened in the second phase and emergency department in the third phase. The healthcare institution currently provides high quality services brought by Japanese management to the 60 thousand residents of Bayanzurkh Distict and other patients.

Yesterday (20 April), Ulaanbaatar City Mayor S.Amarsaikhan visited the hospital. MNUMS Director J.Tsolmon and Deputy Director of Clinical Services Ts.Erkhembileg showed the mayor around.

Hospital authorities requested S.Amarsaikhan to help with authorization of the funds necessary to purchase some equipment and reagents used for medical diagnosis and analysis. According to MNUMS Director J.Tsolmon, the teaching hospital is in need of some additional devices and tools to provide every service offered.

Mayor S.Amarsaikhan said the Ulaanbaatar city government will support the stable operation of the institution in every way possible.
