The health sector was so miserable!

Domestically, 600 people have been infected in the 45 days since the first case of Covid-19 was reported on November 10. Driver D and the NCCD, Bayanzurkh district general hospital, and large railway hotspots have been registered, and the most frightening is currently the Bayanzurkh hotspots. This is because the Ministry of Health and the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) have admitted that they have lost control of the site, and 55 cases have been reported per day. Surprise, lamentation, and cursing are not a problem. The conditions and supply of Mongolian public hospitals are deplorable. It was only a matter of time before it became a source of infection.

Moreover, in all countries of the world, hospitals have become a hotbed of pandemics, so the World Health Organization (WHO) warns people not to go to hospitals unless necessary. There are thousands of infections and deaths of doctors and medical staff in the world.

So finding fault with the hospital for losing Solid is not the main issue. There is no need to be upset or surprised that there is only one toilet among the patients admitted to the Bayanzurkh District General Hospital. Initially, patients from all public hospitals used and still use one bathroom. Lying on a mattress on a hospital floor was a common occurrence, but it is not so bad today.

This is a consequence of how miserable, and sick the Mongolian health sector has been. After all, L. Bold, a former member of parliament who has never been to a Mongolian hospital in 30 years, sat at the NCCD wondering how difficult it was to be isolated last spring. Many politicians like L.Bold do not know the environment of public hospitals and have not been treated for many years. Most of them took their mothers, fathers, wives, and children abroad, but thanks to Solid-19, Mongolian politicians began to notice how vulnerable the health sector was when they struggled to get medical treatment.

Politicians ignored the fact that the health sector was lying on its back. Last spring, D. Nyamkhuu, the head of the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, lamented that there was not a single ECMO device in the country to replace the heart and lungs. However, there were not enough respirators in public hospitals in previous years. But let’s say that there are 800 luxury SUVs in the name of public service.

Thanks to the “virtue” of Covid-19, more than 300 respirators have been purchased nationwide and distributed to aimag and soum hospitals. Also, hospitals that have been frozen for many years have been put into operation. Who knew that the same paper project would have remained the same without the plague.

Our health readiness and environment were not affected by the epidemic, and no one took into account the fact that more than 500 children in one school had been infected with TB before. There are many problems in the Mongolian health sector, including the fact that MPP ministers blackmailed and discredited J.Amarsana for his political activities. He spent 30 years in the country with only one hospital for oncology and epidemiology. But every year, 6,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed. Many lives could have been saved if 70-80 percent of them had built cancer clinics in each province, rather than blaming the people for the late or severe outbreaks. Health care reform will only take place when leaders focus on inpatient care rather than in their rooms. Even if thousands of fair laws are passed, the health sector will remain miserable unless the authorities’ attitudes change.

Doctors and medical staff have rarely raised working conditions and the development of the health sector. They have often threatened to strike if wages are not raised. So, if the whole health sector is not fundamentally reformed, it will not be possible to lie down.
