Final stage of project on mother and child health launched. ‘Innovation in maternal and newborn health services in Mongolia: from pilot to institutionalization’, the exit phase of the Telemedicine project is successfully launched. With the project implementation, the sub-province centers were connected to the National Health Center for Mothers and Children via online network, enabling the patients in rural areas to receive medical advice and required information without coming to the city. The project also contributed to the reduction of maternal mortality, which decreased by 75 percent compared to that of 1990. Mongolia, thus, became one of the nine countries that have fulfilled their duties on reducing maternal mortality rates under the Millennium Development Goals, said Minister A.Tsogtsetseg during the signing ceremony of the project implementation agreement. The final stage will comprise works including conducting maternal and reproductive education training, capacity building for medical workers and making online network and mobile technology an inseparable part of our healthcare system. The project has been under realization since 2007 with the support of UN Population Fund and the Government of Luxembourg.
