Abstract:
Mongolia is a parliamentary republic country in the north of our country. Healthcare system is mainly composed of three parts: state-owned medical institutions, private clinics and mixed-ownership medical institutions, characteris by the wide coverage but uneven resources. Due to the folk customs and climate, diseases of the digestive system are more common, and the main diseases that cause deaths of Mongolian residents are ischemic heart disease, stroke, and liver cancer. Mongolia is located by and culturally related to China, so the development and dissemination of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is likely acceptable to the public. Mongolia’s traditional medicine and TCM have long-term exchanges and influences, promoting each other’s development, which also are protected by Mongolian laws. The concerns such as the inheritance, study and protection of Mongolian traditional medicine, the promotion of non-medicinal therapies restrict the development Mongolian and Chinese traditional medicine. It is recommended that Mongolian and TCM jointly promote the development and dissemination of traditional medicine in the world by cultivating high-level medical talents, increasing research and protection of herbal medicines, and expanding the application of non-drug therapies.
