Society
Ulaanbaatar, 2024 February 26
/MONTSAME/. Minister of Digital Development and
Communications of Mongolia Uchral Nyam-Osor and UNICEF Representative to
Mongolia Evariste Kouassi-Komlan signed the plan for the country program 2023-2027
on February 22, 2024.
One
of the program's five key initiatives will focus on supporting digital
transformation (e-transition) in the healthcare sector. It will involve shifting
key documents, such as prenatal care records, outpatient medical records,
insurance information, prescriptions, imaging results, and appointment
bookings/vaccination records, to electronic formats. The transition of seven paper
services to digital will streamline processes, reduce costs, and alleviate the
burden on hospitals.
The
e-Leaders project is also included in the plan to enhance the public e-skills.
Aligning with the policy of fostering universal digital literacy, these efforts
will focus on implementing programs in health, education, and child protection.
UNICEF
will fund USD 670 thousand to programs dedicated to health, education, and
child protection sectors in Mongolia.
