To assess the current supply of health care workers who have been working at the general hospitals of the aimags and define the further needs.
In this study, we collected data from 185 health care workers who have been working in the Soum aimag hospitals of
Bulgan, Arkhangai, Selenge, Khuvsgul, and Orkhon aimags. A document review was done of health reports and indicators of the health department from 2006 to 2010, which included the annual report of the general hospitals with their standards for structure and operation of those aimags. Data was analyzed by SPSS-17. Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted to calculate the prevalence, mean, and hypothesis regarding the study goal. The objective was analyzed by statistical analytical methods (Т, х2, Fisher exact) measuring the differences of the groups, and verifying the statistical significance .
Nationwide, there are 27.18 medical doctors per 10,000 people. However, at the aimag level, there were only 18.03 medical doctors per 10,000 people working in 2010. The study results of our target aimags showed that there were 29.13 medical doctors per 10,000 people in Orkhon aimag, 14.56 in Bulgan aimag, 14.78 in Arkhangai aimag, 15.33 in Selenge aimag, and 14.07 in Khuvsgul aimag. Those figures are lower than the national average and the general aimag average. There are 31.7 nurses per 10,000 people, and an average of 57.38 medium level medical personnel, including nurses, per
10,000 people(1).
In terms of the number of physician per 10,000, Mongolia has reached the level of developed countries. However, the study results showed that there is a lack of medical doctors in rural areas, especially in remote areas, due to short-sighted planning and allocation of human resources in the health sector.
