By location, 48.9 percent of the total participants are from Ulaanbaatar, and 51.1 percent are from rural areas. Children up to the age of 17 constituted a great proportion of the total participants, with 68.7 percent and followed by the adults with 31.3 percent. From this, we can see that citizens of Ulaanbaatar were comparatively active before, while now, countryside citizens are more actively participating in this nationwide campaign.”

A total of 459,688 suspected cases were registered, of which 60.7 percent were gastrointestinal diseases, 8.7 percent were endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases, 7.1 percent were cardiovascular diseases, 6.5 percent were urologic diseases and 6.1 percent were respiratory diseases.
