Ulaanbaatar
Financing resolved for Western Region Diagnostic and Treatment Center
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Cabinet permitted Minister of Finance B.Bolor to allocate 14.250 billion MNT (7.218 million USD) from the Kuwait Fund’s non-refundable aid to the constructions of diagnostic (A) and treatment (B) blocks of the western region medical center.
Minister of Health and Sports S.Lambaa was assigned to select construction work executor and commission the building within 2017.
The Western region diagnostic and treatment operated since in 2012, accommodates in the 1974 building of Khovd province’s central hospital so far. Each year, this medical center receives roughly 130 thousand patients for diagnosis and check-up, 1,800 mothers for child delivery, and 12-13 thousand persons for inpatient treatments.
The old building is failing meeting the ever-growing demand and occupancy, due to outdated electric, heat and water systems.
Installation of equipment from Belgium will take place in the first quarter of 2017, so the new buildings should be commissioned before this.
