This paper describes the hospital sector in Mongolia along with reforms and results achieved, challenges that remain, and ongoing and future directions for ADB support to better respond to the needs of the people.

Before the 1990s, Mongolia had a health care system that largely depended on hospital-based services characterized by the extensive use of an excessive number of acute beds, a large number of medically unjustified admissions, and lengthy hospital stays. In the early 1990s, the Government of Mongolia started socioeconomic reforms as part of the transition to a market economy. Since then, ADB has been supporting health sector reforms in the country.
