The government has announced
plans to pay the majority of the expenses of organ transplant operations
for Mongolian citizens who cannot afford proper care.
Specifically, the government
will pay 80 percent of kidney transplant costs. A typical operation
costs $9,000, according to officials. The Health Ministry will pay 80
percent of this cost with patients paying the remaining 20 percent.
About 30 to 40 kidney transplantation
surgeries each year will be available to Mongolian citizens due to this
government program.
