BackgroundHealth professional licensing was introduced in Mongolia in 1999. Medical school graduates shouldpass the health professional licensing exam (HPLE) to be registered. It was informed that HPLEsuccess rate has been decreased for last few years among graduates who passed final theoreticexam (FTE). There has been no research conducted to explain the reasons of such trend. Thisresearch aims to conduct a comparative assessment of MSQs used for both HPLE and FTE.GoalTo analyze examination and test to identify the level of medical knowledge of students who graduateas medical doctor at “Ach” Medical University during 2011- 2015.Materials and MethodsThis is a cross sectional descriptive study. it employed a statistical analysis of 2950 MSQs (24version) that were used for the HPLE by the Health Development Center of the MOH (N=16)and FTE by the “Ach” Medical University (N=8) between 2011 and 2015. Test sheets of HPLE(N=728) and FTE (N=686) were assessed in order to identify a reliability of tests, difficulty index,discrimination index using QuickSCORE II program of the test reading machine with a mode of“Scantron ES-2010”.ResultsThe success rate was much higher in FTE than it in HPLE between 2011 and 2015. The successrate of HPLE decreased dramatically starting from 2013 (87%) to 2014 (4%) and 2015 (24%) whilethe same rate of FTE was stable and almost 100%.FTE’s reliability coefficient of 2011-2015 years meets requirement when it’s 0.92-0.96. HPLE’sreliability coefficient of 2013 and 2014 years don’t meet requirement.From all of the MCQs that has been used in FTE‘s 97% and in HPLE’s 80% are positive discriminationindex which means possible to identify medical school graduates knowledge.ConclusionOur findings confirmed that the success rates of HPLE among medical school graduates are beingquite low.Reliability coefficient of HPLE tests were less reliable (КР20=0.66-0.86) than FTE (КР20=0,92-0.96) and particularly tests for 2014 and 2015 were more difficult and were with high percentage ofnegative discrimination.Test score between HPLE and FTE of 2011-2015 is direct linear correlation.

BACKGROUND
As a Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences student rating point is calculated by transferring into 42 level quantitative point in accordance with procedure which assess student approved byDirector with 1st attachment of order no. A/144 on December 15, 2015. However, the calculation,estimated by mathematics allocation, of the student rating point, letter point and quantitative is notbased on research also allocation of transferring the rating point into quantitative point is different foranother universities. These reasons mentioned previously have seriously become basis backgroundof our research. The main objective of this research is to compare model of transferring rating pointinto quantitative point.
METHODS
Research was completed by quantitative method that based on moment descriptive study, case study,
model of mathematic and geometry modeling.Under our research objective we did compare study using rate point that transfer into quantitativepoint of student at MNUHS, accuracy and methodology all among the Mongolian state and private universities. Now Mongolian National University of Life Sciences, Etugen University and New Mongolia Medical University are using 5 level table that approved Ministry of Education Science, Mongolian National University is using 9 level scale, Mongolian University of Science & Technology, Mongolian State University of Education, Mongolian State University of Art&Culture are using 12 level scale while MNUHS is using 42 scale table that calculate student average point. We compared model of GPA calculation that rate point transfer into quantitative point by using all tables belong each Universities mentioned above. We have developed mathematical and geometrical modeling on each assessment since we started study and made statistical process based on modeling.
RESULTS
Some articles of the regulation to adapt the credit hours, evaluate students’ knowledge and ability
during the training where providing the higher educational degree were not fulfilled. Hereto:
The article of the guidance that are taking: 70 rating point considering to the letter D, 80 rating point
considering to the letter C, 90 rating point considering to the letter B are not providing the 12 level
module.
The modules with staging 9, 12, 42 of the article on regarding measurement of 2, 3, 4 in 70, 80, 90
rating grade are not meeting requirements.
According to the survey among 470 students who’s GPA higher 2.5 in the 42 level scale shows mostly.
Also, the percentage of the students with GPA higher than 3 are in high level. In other words, 158
students (33.6% of 470 students) are meeting requirements of the national scholarship programs and
other scholarships.
The calculation of the correlation relationship of the rating point and grades converted to the digit rate
that are using in all universities were the positive correlation, linear dependence.
For the module with staging Person Correlation 9, its influence rate is 98.7 per cent that shows the
highest rate comparing with other modules. To calculate Determination Percentage (r2), the module
with staging 9 is 97.4 per cent or these digit grades have the highest capacity to show the rating grade.
CONCLUSION
Level models are able to rate in points or statistical significant.
The high correlation between rating point and digit grade’s and determination percentage in the 9
level module showing more relevant in statistics and reporting capacity. The modules with staging 9,
12, 42 are not meeting requirements of the guidance.

Background:
The development of a country is often measured by the state of human development, especially maternal
and child health indicators. In Mongolia, public health policies targeting the prevention of non-communicable diseases
related to lifestyle and physical development among adolescents are critically needed. However, there is a lack of regional
studies on adolescent health, particularly in rural areas.
Aim:
To study certain physical development indicators among adolescents in Bulgan province.
Materials and Methods:
This analytical study was conducted in 2022 involving 781 twelve-year-old children. Data were
collected from parents and processed using Stata 17.0. Percentages were calculated for qualitative data, and Chi-square
and Fisher’s exact tests were used for statistical analysis. Where statistically significant, multinomial logistic regression
analysis was applied to identify risk factors affecting physical development.
Results:
52.88% of the participants were boys,92.45% lived in traditional or private hous12.04% of the children showed
growth retardation. 49.68% were overweight.70.94% were classified as overweight or obese based on their Body Mass
Index (BMI).Weak muscle strength (1.66%), flexibility (2.05%), endurance (1.66%), and agility (1.92%) were observed.
Boys were more likely to experience height retardation but had stronger muscle strength.Girls showed a higher prevalence
of being overweight.Children living in the provincial center had higher height and BMI, while those in soum centers
demonstrated statistically significant strength in muscle power, flexibility, and endurance.
Conclusion
1. Among the study participants, 70.94% of children were overweight or obese.
2. 1.66% of the study participants had weak muscle strength, 2.05% had weak flexibility, 1.66% had weak endurance,
and 1.92% had weak speed and agility.
3. The use of mobile phones, parental involvement, inactivity, lack of sports, and lack of horse riding have negative
effects on physical development.

Background:
A particular appealing problem in the medical field of our country is non-communicable diseases, which
are derived from child development and lifestyle, prevention and the decision was approved on being used the maternal
and child health handbook in order to be promptly needed the publicly covered medical policy toward those. Several researchers have noted that in developed countries longitudinal studies are used for checking and controlling in wide range
of epidemic diseases and health issues for maternal and child, pregnancy and postpartum period as well as this method is
directed to be found out multiple information and knowledge.
Not having studied enough how well current situations for postpartum period and maternal and child health in our countryside is become the foundation for our research work. Moreover, it needs to be found out what kind of factors, which
are effected on children who were born to the year of 2010 in Bulgan province, where it started using the first and only
maternal and child health handbook (so called a pink handbook) in Mongolia, health issues. Also, the foundation of this
study was to be needed to focus on our attention to which level of the medical field in order to improve those generations
health issues are improved,
Aim:
to evaluate of a written usage of the maternal and child health handbook, to define its needs, to advertise its results
to the public.
Materials and Methods:
The study is made with a cohort design of an analytical method based on collected information
in 2013, of mothers and children, who are in need, giving birth and being born in 2010 and the results were made on Stata
17 program. The answers were taken with the base study of 2013 from 1015 original case sources within study groups in
needs, and collected information covered with current and actual local situation, as well as to be involved in mothers and
children, who gave birth and were born in 17 sums’ health institutions of Bulgan province.
Results:
Participants age range and educational backgrounds; 70.34 % of mothers were between 20-34 ages, 29.36% of
mothers were 35 and over ages. 1.51% of uneducated mothers, 39.06 % of high school graduates, 49.1% of permanent
residents, 45.38 % of temporary or nomadic or the smallest units residents of administration, 92.08% of married, 39.88%
of families are consisted in members over 5, 52.12% of boys with average weights of 3389.8 grams during the period
of being born, 9.86% of heavy pregnancy or heavy weight fetuses, 4.14% of light weight fetuses or light weight infants.
Plus, the study was defined the mothers educational background to be great and helpful strength to use and record and to
define the usages of the maternal and child health handbook, which was given and thoroughly explained to the mothers
at the beginning.
The leading diseases and their reasons were among three-year aged children, who were covered and recorded with 173
severe burnt, 42 falling injuries from something, 22 being hit and 19 were bitten by animals.
In this study there were 17.83% of participants without the maternal and child health handbooks (pink handbooks),
81.77% of participants carried their pink handbooks with them when they went to the health facilities, 68.47% of them,
who were gotten explanations from the doctors, when the pink handbooks were opened by, 71.72% of participants answered the pink handbooks to be needed. The results of this study have indicated that 71.72% of mothers, who used it at
first time, answered the maternal and child health handbooks were very important and handy for understanding to check
and observe for mothers and children’s development and growth.
Conclusion
It was the leading reason, which was predominantly recorded with cases of burning, falling injuries, hit
and bitten by animals among three-year of children, who were participated in this study. There were high amounts of
respiratory diseases and diarrheas among toddlers. 71.72% of participants considered that the maternal and child health
handbooks were important.
