Odontuya MP works in Ovorkhangai
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ A member of the State Great Khural (parliament) S.Odontuya and an advisor to the Speaker G.Baigalmaa Thursday worked in Ovorkhangai aimag.
They met the local inhabitants to speak about laws, resolutions and decisions, adopted by the autumn session, and highlighted newly adopted laws on survivor’s pension, on health insurance, on children’s rights and protection, on protecting rights of the disabled, on babysitting service, on state policy on pensions and social insurance.
After this, the MP met with authorities of the regional diagnosis-medical treatment center to share views on a bill on medical aid and services. The center's deputy director noted that they pay a great deal of attention to the law on medical service, and said,"Not only ours but other state-run hospitals are completely dependent on the state, and this is limiting doctors in getting involved in developmental and professional workshops. High skilled doctors rather work for private hospitals with nice salaries or run their own hospitals. It has been impossible to augment doctors' salaries,” he complained. “Our center must serve people of five provinces but we have 80 staffers, plus, there are many problems with the social welfare matters, so we do hope the law will resolve them," he said.
