1.The Project for Strengthening Post-graduate Training for Health Professionals in Primary and Secondary Level Health Facilities
(1) Outline of the project
i. Background
Mongolia has experienced rapid economic growth and thus fundamental health indices has improved. However, as large regional disparities in the country still remain, improving health care services in remote area became a priority for the health sector.
In order to address the problem, the Government of Mongolia started to give temporary permit to new medical school graduates and to require working in primary level health facilities in rural areas such as Family Health Center (FHC) or Sum Health Center (SHC) for two years. However, the low level of medical skills due to a lack of practical clinical training has become a problem because newly licensed physicians are posted without any practical clinical training to the outlying medical facilities where the number of physicians is insufficient. Therefore the numbers of patients, without being diagnosed appropriately, taken to the tertiary health facilities in Ulaanbaatar increased.
ii. Objective
- To strengthen capacity on management of post-graduate training at Ministry of Health and Sports and Center for Health Development
- To improve quality of post-graduate training program for health professionals with focusing on primary and secondary levels.
iii. Schedule: May 2015 to May 2020
