The project aims to increase the accessibility of quality health care in remote areas of western and southern Mongolia. The basic health care is relatively accessible even in rural areas. However, the rural population does not have access to specialists, modern diagnostic tools or to necessary care in case of acute emergency.

Six central hospitals will be provided with the off-road mobile clinics, which will be equipped with all necessary equipment and material. The mobile clinics will go around the districts in regular intervals and provide assistance to the smaller, not so well equipped or understaffed health centres. The mobile clinics will mainly provide diagnostic and prevention services and urgent health care. All key stakeholders consulted from village doctors to the representatives of Mongolian Ministry of Health agreed that this type of support is mostly needed. “People in Need” is implementing the project with financial support of the Czech government’s development assistance.
