Training of National Trainers to Provide Care Services for Elderly Held

The Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Protection, in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank, has organized a training program to prepare national trainers in the provision of care services for elderly. The training was conducted under the technical assistance project (TA MON-10388) aimed at strengthening the capacity of care services for the elderly.

The trained national trainers will be responsible for delivering knowledge and guidance on long-term care (LTC) systems for older persons, including policies, financing, and core components. They will also focus on risk identification and assessment, conducting comprehensive needs assessments, and providing integrated care services tailored to different levels of risk. In addition, they will work to ensure the implementation of relevant laws, regulations, and guidelines.

Participants who successfully complete the training will go on to replicate the program at the local level, with the goal of improving the quality, accessibility, and effectiveness of services for older persons, as well as strengthening coordination and collaboration among professionals in related sectors.

A total of 60 representatives participated in the training, including officials and experts from the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Protection, the General Office for Labour and Welfare Services, the Mongolian Association of Elderly People, the National Gerontology Centre, the Ministry of Health, the United Association of Soum Health Centres, the Mongolian Red Cross Society, and district-level social welfare units.
