A telemedicine center has opened
in Ulaanbaatar in the Scientific Center for Mother and Infant.
The center will allow Mongolians
who must travel great distances to see a doctor to, instead, receive
medical assistance via the telephone.
The system will cover all residents
of eight provinces including Khovd, Khovsgol, Dornod, Ovorkhangai, Darkhan-Uul,
Orkhon, Selenger, and Dornogobi.
Since the telemedicine program
was launched in Mongolia in September 2007, some 700,000 Mongolians
have taken advantage of the service.
