The Second National Oncology Center to Be Commissioned in 2030 www.montsame.mn
On January 6, 2025, President of Mongolia Khurelsukh Ukhnaa visited the construction site of the Second National Oncology Center and was introduced to the ongoing work by the Members of the Working Group in charge of supporting its establishment.
The Second National Oncology Center will be located on 12 hectares of land in the Bayangol Am, the 34th khoroo of Songinokhairkhan district of Ulaanbaatar. Around 1,500 doctors to work at the Center will be trained in collaboration with the University of Utah in the United States.
President Khurelsukh noted, “We need to urgently establish a comprehensive and modernized cancer treatment and research facility that meets international standards. With Mongolia's expanding foreign relations, we intend to advance this project through international cooperation and not rely solely on the State Budget. Cancer incidence is increasing each year, and without the timely completion of this facility, the World Health Organization estimates that cancer rates in Mongolia will double by 2040.
The Center, covering 95,000 square meters, will employ about 1,500 doctors and medical staff. Members of the State Great Khural who have studied cancer extensively and deeply understand the adversity of the people are included in the Working Group as they will be a great driving force in this initiative.”
The mortality rate from cancer in Mongolia is 24 percent, which is considerably higher than the global average of 17 percent. Additionally, around 70 percent of cancer patients are diagnosed at later stages of the disease.
The new center will consist of a seven-story building with four blocks. Specifically, Block “A” will house waste management, outpatient services, training, research, and inpatient care. Block “B” will include sterilization, outpatient services, imaging, endoscopy, surgery, laboratory facilities, and office spaces. Block “C” will cover chemotherapy, intensive treatment, emergency services, and inpatient care, while Block “D” will accommodate radiotherapy and anatomical pathology.
The construction of the 600-bed Second National Oncology Center is set to commence next spring and is planned to be fully operational by 2030. The Government of Mongolia is implementing a policy for increasing public participation in early cancer detection, providing localized cancer care for citizens in their respective areas, and reducing cancer-related mortality rates. The Government has also allocated funds in both national and local budgets for the expansion of the National Oncology Center and the provision of medical equipment to regional hospitals.
