Mongolia to launch nationwide health checkups www.xinhuanet.com
Feb. 16 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia will provide preventive and early-detection checkups to the country's entire population from May 1, Mongolian Health Minister Sereejav Enkhbold said Wednesday.
The move aims to reduce the risk of fatal diseases among Mongolian citizens, and narrow the life expectancy gap between men and women, Enkhbold told a press conference.
In Mongolia, the average life expectancy is 70.8 years for women and 60.6 years for men, Enkhbold said, adding that the government aims to reduce the gap to five years by 2024.
Cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, cancers, and traumatic injury are now the leading causes of death in Mongolia, according to the health minister.
A total of 60.8 billion Mongolian tugriks (about 21.3 million U.S. dollars) from the state budget will be used to support the preventive and early-detection checkups this year.
The government-financed checkups designed to cover a population of 3.4 million will also help improve Mongolia's health data, the ministry said.
