Historical Path

On May 12, 2015, a grant agreement was signed between the Government of Japan and Mongolia for the establishment of a university hospital under the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences (MNUMS). The project, financed through a grant aid of 7.985 billion Japanese yen, became one of the largest development projects funded by Japan in terms of grant amount.

Under this grant:

• 7,985,000,000 yen was allocated for the construction of the hospital building,

• 1,393,000,000 yen for medical equipment and instruments,
  resulting in a total investment of 9,378,000,000 yen.

In accordance with the agreement, the Government of Japan fulfilled its commitments by:

• Constructing a purpose-built university hospital that meets international standards,

• Providing over 360 types of essential medical equipment and instruments, and

• Conducting 24 training programs to fully prepare the medical professionals who would work at the hospital.

Through an investment of 2.8496 billion MNT from the Ministry of Health, a total of 1,901 medical devices, equipment, furniture, and computers in 154 categories were supplied through six separate procurement packages.

By Government Resolution No. 53, dated January 30, 2019, the Government of Mongolia approved the establishment of the “University Hospital of the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences (MNUMS),” with the mandate to provide primary specialty services to residents of Bayanzurkh District and certain specialized services nationwide. Following this:

• The hospital’s structure and charter were approved by Order A/137 of the Minister of Health (2019),

• Subsequently updated by Order A/307 of the Minister of Education, Culture, Science and Sports (2020), and

• Most recently revised by Order A/110 of the President of MNUMS (2023).

According to the updated charter, the hospital is defined as an affiliate of MNUMS, with the following functions:
“To deliver specialized medical services at the national level; provide methodological and professional guidance to other healthcare institutions; conduct research and academic studies; train medical and other health professionals; and support undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate education and training.”

As part of the mission to become a national leading hospital that provides patient-centered, evidence-based, and safe healthcare services, and serves as a benchmark for research and scientific development in medicine, the MNUMS Hospital Management Enhancement Project, in collaboration with the Japanese expert team, is actively working to:

• Strengthen human resource capacity,

• Deliver comprehensive medical services, and

• Operate the hospital at full capacity.
