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.
