Prime Minister N. Uchral has ordered reforms to ensure salary increases for healthcare workers are calculated from revised base pay, during a visit to a district health center in Ulaanbaatar.
The government plans to raise healthcare workers’ salaries by 75% by end of 2026, with a 30% increase already in effect. The remaining rises will be rolled out in monthly increments from August through December.
The Prime Minister also instructed Health Minister E. Batshugar to ensure all allowances, excluding overtime, are recalculated based on the increased salary, correcting the current system.
He said no austerity measures would be applied to the healthcare sector and pledged stronger government support for workers’ social welfare.
He also warned that poor drug quality is undermining treatment outcomes despite doctors’ internationally competitive skills, calling for stricter oversight and a review of subsidised medicines to better meet public needs.
