/MONTSAME/. President of Mongolia Khurelsukh Ukhnaa decreed to award the
Order of the Polar Star of Mongolia to the National Center for the Elderly of
Mongolia on May 25, 2024.
The oldest nursing home in Mongolia is celebrating its 100th
anniversary. President’s Senior Advisor, Lundeg Surenjav congratulated and
expressed best wishes to the generations of staff, employees, and seniors and
awarded the Order of the Polar Star of Mongolia to the National Center for the
Elderly of Mongolia, and medals to senior employees who have made exceptional
achievements in their line of duty and made valuable contributions to
Mongolia’s development.
Under the initiative of the Leader of the People’s Republic of
Mongolia Choibalsan Khorloo, the Department of Caring for Orphans and the Poor was
established in 1924, which put the foundation of the current National Center
for the Elderly. The Center aids citizens who are unable to live independently,
have no relatives for protection and care, need constant nursing and medical
treatment, or are disabled by providing housing, food, clothing, medical
services, rehabilitation, entertainment, and psychological support as stated in
the relevant laws. Currently, 182 elders and disabled citizens are residing in
the Center with over 100 employees.
The State Budget for 2024 allocated MNT 500 million for
constructing a paved road from the National Center for the Elderly to the
Batsumber soum center, repairing the Center’s roof, upgrading the steam boiler,
and purchasing a bus for the transportation of the elderly.
