Mongolia’s largest copper and gold mining company, Oyu Tolgoi has teamed up with the United Nations Population Fund, United Nations Children's Fund and the World Health Organization to co-fund a USD $5 million initiative focusing on improving the health of women and young people in the southern Umnugovi province. Taking advantage of methodologies adopted from the United Nations, the program will work with local health facility management to focus on capacity building of experts, trainers, service providers, and managers at the province and soum level, and applying innovative technologies. Key indicators of the program’s success will include lowering the maternal mortality rate and prevention of maternal mortality, reducing the birth rate of adolescents and achieving a significantly lower level of injuries amongst the general population.
