Visit to the Rehabilitation Hospital under the National Centre for Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology

Following Government Resolution No. 207 of December 17, 2025, the “Centre for Rehabilitation, Training, and Production” was reorganized as the “National Centre for Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology.” The Centre provides comprehensive rehabilitation hospital services and assistive technology support to approximately 7,000 individuals annually.

Minister of Family, Labour and Social Protection T. Aubakir, accompanied by officials, visited the Rehabilitation Hospital. The hospital offers specialized care with 60 beds, while its Prosthetics and Orthopaedics Workshop produces around 700 assistive devices across 35 categories.

During the visit, hospital staff highlighted several key issues:

·         The building, commissioned in 2016, was not originally designed for hospital use and does not meet standard norms. Limited access points affect the quality-of-service delivery.

·         Starting in 2026, there is a need to introduce psychological and art therapy treatments and to provide specialized overseas training for staff twice a year.

·         Urgent needs include establishing an ambulance service and an “Emergency Care Unit,” as well as creating positions for oncology specialists and medical equipment engineers.

Officials reviewed the Centre's 2025 performance and instructed management and relevant experts to align the 2026 strategic plan with these priority issues, ensuring practical and results-oriented implementation.

In recent years, stroke has become a leading cause of death in Mongolia, with cases increasingly affecting younger populations (an average of over 12,000 diagnoses annually). Rehabilitation services are critical for reducing post-stroke disability and helping patients regain independence.
