Introduction: Gait evaluation and training using treadmill will be increasingly used in near future. However it is con¬troversial whether the treadmill replicates the overground environment. Goal: Aim of this study was to compare overground and treadmill ambulation for possible differences in gait tempo¬ral variables and leg joint kinematics. Materials and Methods: A total of 10 participants walked on overground and treadmill. Participants walked at their preferred velocity on overground. The treadmill velocity was adjusted average velocity obtained in overground walking. Walking in two conditions was captured by high speed camera and analyzed by motion analyses software. Results: The maximum hip flexion angle (P=0.046), maximum hip extension (P=0.0001), maximum knee extension (P=0.0001) and maximum ankle dorsiflexion (P=0.022) were significantly different in the two conditions. Conclusions: The present study suggest that statistically significant differences exist between overground and treadmill walking in healthy subjects for some joint kinematic and temporal variables.

BACKGROUNDAir pollution issue has become the largest problem of Ulaanbaatar city in the last decade affecting health and wellbeing of its citizens. Air pollution levels are increasing considerably in winter as a result of coal burning by city dwellers living in ger areas. Our study purpose was to survey the impact of air pollution on infant health of Ulaanbaatar city in 2012.METHODSData of 7484 on births at Khan-Uul and Sukhbaatar districts residence mothers and infants of Ulaanbaatar city from 2012 and corresponding daily air pollution level data (CO, NO2, SO2 and PM10) from the Ulaanbaatar city air quality monitoring stations were used.RESULTSAir pollution levels in Ulaanbaatar city significantly affect birth outcomes. Exposure to high levels of СО2 of during the third trimester of pregnancy reduces newborn’s weight. Exposure to NO2 is not influencing to newborn’s weight. Mothers who lived in more polluted area during pregnancy period more likely had baby reduced weight in 44 grams.

State that the private sector partnership is a general concept that encompasses formal legal relationships between government entities and the private sector to use private sector resources and expertise to ensure delivery of public services and property. This is because public services to improve the capacity for sustainable use of private sector skills and modernization of technology andfinancial resources, capacity building and increased capacity necessary to wait for the budget cost ofthe current economic situation of our country. Public-private partnership noted that the assessment made by international organizations to take place very effectively in our country. Therefore, the evaluation of the current public-private partnership in the health sector in order toimprove these conditions and to improve the quality and accessibility of care and identify ways of involvement in the implementation of a basis for the work of the study. The purpose of the study is to assess the state of public-private partnership conditions in the Mongolian health sector.We conducted overall 20 focus group interviews with 180 participants, including doctors and health care professionals. 17 out of 20 were from Ulaanbaatar and 3 were out of 20. From them, six interviews in the Aimag’s and district’s Complex Hospital represented for the secondary health care organizations, 8 interviews in the Family Clinic represented for primary health care organizations.3 interviews in the third health care organizations. Also 3 interviews in the private health care organizations.Is not known the advantages of public and private medical practitioners and medical specialists partners and do not have experience in working partner. But running has partnered with medical doctors, specialists increased support service types currently provided as a partnership between the hospital and doctor finds that your experience is improving and increasing the quality of service.For flip side is that partners can expand partnership working poor accountability. Future doctors and medical experts believe is necessary to strengthen the increasing awareness of the Partnership through the provision of secondary education, advocacy and policy.Doctors and medical experts believe that public-private partnerships Mongolian international health industry groups have developed expanding significantly. It believes that the lack of knowledge about the partnership, due to be implemented in a realistic policy document.

Antinociceptive effect of Deva-5 (Gentiana decumbens L.,
Terminalia Chebula Retz., Polygonium bistorta L., Momordica
cochinchinensis Lour., Chiazospermum erectum Bernh) used in
traditional medicine for treatment of infectious heat disease was
examined in both chemically- and temperature-induced pain models
of mice. Deva-5 administered orally at 100 and 200 mg/kg
significantly reduced the writhings induced by acetic acid from
control values of 37.7±6.7 (N = 6) to 24.5±3.9 (N = 6) and 18,8±2,8
(N = 6), respectively (p<0.05). When administered at 100 and 200
mg/kg, Deva-5 reduced the paw licking time for the second phase of
the formalin test from the control value of 92.6±12.9 s (N = 6) to
69.8±5.7 s (N = 6) and 70.1±11.7 s (N = 6), respectively (p<0.05).
Deva-5 had no significant effect on the first phase of the formalin
test. As evaluated by the tail immersion test, Deva-5 at doses of 100
and 200 mg/kg, showed no analgesic activity. These results show
that Deva-5 has antinociceptive activity and suggest that this effect
is probably an indirect anti-inflammatory effect, which does not
involve the central nervous system.

Risk management practice and decision making are paramount for doctors to improving patient outcomes and managing the total cost of risk in our evolving healthcare landscape. In Mongolia there are no legal regulations about health professional’s liability insurance. The aim of the study is to provide relative information about the legal environment, systems and financing of liability insurancefor health professionals in selected foreign countries and Mongolia and to look at what policies and regulations could be applied to Mongolia.We carried out a policy study focused on health professionals’ liability insurance in four selectedcountries. We investigated health professionals’ liability insurance situation in Mongolia in the year of 2012-2014 byReviewing and analyzing the data related to health professionals liability insurance voluntary from the top six insurance companies’ by size and interviewing managerial level staff at these companies Studying court decisions related to health professionals’ errors to see how many health professionals could be prevented from court hearing Studying patients’ complaints against health professionals as filed with the Ministry of Health andSports to see how much risks are facing by health professionals.There are two main legal systems we discovered regarding resolution of health professionals’accountability for patient complaints: Court sentencing. Examples include Mongolia and the United States. Reimbursing the loss. Examples include Switzerland, Finland, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, England, and the Russian Federation. There are two insurance types for health professional’s liability: А. Compulsory B. Voluntary1 In USA, Canada and England, the liability insurance system for health care providers developed late in 19th and earlier in 20th century. Today, both private and nonprofit insurance entities in these countries insure health professionals and members of the health professionals’ association. England has rich experience of health professional’s liability insurance and the system is too large. Data fromthe England legal system shows that one case may take up to 4 years to receive a final decision. In order to determine health professionals’ fault with regard to claims, a health professionals’ liability damage assessor is needed who is well experienced and trained in healthcare law. Mostly not more than 30 percent of the claims are reimbursed. In Canada, statistical trends show claims against health professionals continue to increase. As a result, doctors prescribe additional laboratory tests and other additional investigations which increase health sector costs. In Russia in 2010 the health professional’s liability insurance law is approved and the implementationwill start January 2017. In Mongolia in 2012-2014, there were registered 373 complaints and errors against health professionals and 162 clients applied court complaints. During this period, 27 health professionals received court sentences. Health professionals liability insurance premium is calculated 0.8-3.5 percent of the insurance valuation. In 2012-2014 total 4377 health professionals insured voluntarily against professional liability.In most developed countries health professionals are protected from sentence to court. Averagecomplaints against health professionals have continued to increase steadily similarly in other countries.Therefore health professional’s professional risk is increasing. It shows that it is very important to improve the legal environment of the liability insurance system for Mongolian health professionals. of coronary atherosclerosis.

Innovation 2020;14(1):44-48
Background:
Healthcare organizations are successfully implementing quality management
system by forming legal entity, administration’s structure, arrangement and developing healthcare
organization’s structure, arrangement, functional standard, clinical guideline, rule and employee’s
moral principles. Implementation of accreditation system into healthcare organizations is proof
of accepted standard application. However, the results of healthcare paradigm shift outcome
is insufficient. Also researchers, citizens and policy makers commented that quality and access
of healthcare service began to worsen compared with previous degree of development.
Management capability index presents management assessment by score, assesses outcome of
organizational functions and give chance to measure capability of management.
Methods:
This study was performed at the Amgalan Maternity Hospital, Urguu Maternity Hospital
and Khuree Maternity Hospital. The study involved 480 employees of above-mentioned hospitals.
The study used 9 chapter and 90 criteria that was used in over 30 Mongolian Governmental
Organizations for capability assessment to determine management capability index of Maternity
Hospitals, using Cross-Sectional study method. In the study, a questionnaire with 90 questions
including organization management capability 9 chapters which are organizational goal and task,
leadership skill in organization, worthwhile structure and arrangement, organization’s motivation
and leverage, organization’s relationship and collaboration, organizational culture, resource
utilization, knowledge and innovation, organizational productivity, quality and performance was
used. Organizations capability index was estimated by assessment of each questions in scores 1
to 5.
Results:
Total 480 employees consisting of 220 employees working at Urguu Maternity Hospital,
125 employees of Khuree Maternity Hospital and 135 employees of Amgalan Maternity Hospital
filled the questionnaire. 46 administration officials, 75 doctors, 208 nurses and obstetricians,
105 caregivers and service assistants and 46 economic employees involved it. Organizational
management capability was 71.8, 73.6 and 93 respectively Urguu Maternity Hospital, Khuree
Maternity Hospital and Amgalan Maternity Hospital. It is obvious that there has necessity to
improve organizational knowledge, innovation, resource utilization, behavior, culture and activate
their organization. In result of studying doctors, nurses, obstetricians and other employee’s work
task management, there has relatively little difference of management capability index with
0-3.9% between Urguu Maternity Hospital and Khuree Maternity Hospital while management
capability index of Amgalan Maternity Hospital had difference with 14.7-20.1%. In the work task
questionnaire analysis, no difference was noted but administrative officials and service assistants
gave high assessment for organizational management. Regression analysis was used to assess the
relationship between management capability assessment of doctors, nurses, obstetricians and
other employee of Maternity Hospitals and the result was p<0.001 and r=0.89. It represented the
presence of strong association between those.
Conclusions
Management capabilities of Urguu and Khuree Maternity Hospitals which don’t
implement the quality management system have difference from Amgalan Maternity Hospital’s
management capability. All participants of Amgalan Maternity Hospital implementing quality
management system gave same assessment for their organizational management capability
index regarding of differences of work tasks.

Mongolian Medical Sciences 2020;193(3):22-27
Introduction:
Studies in many countries have found that the satisfaction of medical workers is closely linked to the
quality and efficiency of medical services, as well as the satisfaction of patients. Satisfied employees
will bring about satisfied clients. The satisfaction of employees remains a key factor linking the
internal management and external management of an organisation. The World Health Organization
(WHO) Global strategy on human resources on health workforce 2030 sets out the policy agenda to
ensure a workforce that is ft for purpose to attain the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). Motivation of health care workers can initiate them to exert and maintain an efort towards
organizational goals. Motivation depends up on many factors, and job satisfaction is one of the most
important factors. Healthcare is a service industry where the overall service experience is important
for customer satisfaction and quality of care (even if in different extents according to the professional
at stake) and that the literature has been bringing about the pertinence of such a holistic approach,
this research was conducted within this perspective. Likewise, it is also known that there is close
correlation between the job satisfaction of health care staff and the total quality of health services.
Different groups have reported differences between the job satisfaction of doctors and that of other
health providers. Various satisfaction levels of health care workers, including general practitioners,
nurses and midwives, have been reported previously.
Materials and Methods:
This study was performed at the Amgalan Maternity Hospital, Urguu Maternity Hospital and Khuree
Maternity Hospital The study involved 480 employees of above mentioned hospitals. The short
form of the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, with 20 items, was used to examine satisfaction
with professional life. The self-administered questionnaire was distributed to all people at their
workplaces. Responses of 4 (satisfied) or 5 (very satisfied) were classified as ‘satisfied’, those of 1
(very dissatisfied) or 2 (dissatisfied) as ‘dissatisfied’.
Results:
The study recruited total 480 employees consisting of 220 employees working at Urguu Maternity
Hospital, 125 employees of Khuree Maternity Hospital and 135 employees of Amgalan Maternity
Hospital. 46 administration officials, 75 doctors, 208 nurses and obstetricians, 105 caregivers and
service assistants and 46 economic employees involved it. In table, 87.1% of total employees of
maternity hospitals were female and 12.9% were male. While there had significantly difference for
gender, occupation type and worked year in this sector and workplace between 3 maternity hospitals
(p<.001), age and education level had no significantly difference between these 3 groups. The
proportion of health care staff satisfied with their work was 80.7%. The chance to tell people what
to do’ and ‘Being able to do things that do not go against my conscience’, and mostly dissatisfied
with ‘The working conditions’ and ‘My pay and the amount of work I do’. There was no significant
difference between satisfaction scores of health care staff according to age, gender, marital status, and
experience of profession. When the 20 items constituting job satisfaction were examined specifically,
the satisfaction score showed a difference related to profession. The midwives’ satisfaction score
was significantly lower than that of the others. In table 4, to assess employee’s satisfaction of each
maternal hospital: While the minimum satisfaction was assessed by employees of Urguu maternity
hospital whether salary is equal for work performance, the maximum satisfaction was assessed by
employees of Amgalan maternity hospital under scope of consistent workplace at 93.9 percent.
Conclusion
Maternity satisfy external and internal factors of employees are influenced. Maternity is
different, depending on the satisfaction of other working areas of employment.

muscles (A and C fiber).
9.Human resource some issues in the medical equipment of the health sector
Gerelt-Od N ; Amarsaikhan D ; Ser-Od Kh ; Munkh-Erdene L
Mongolian Journal of Health Sciences 2025;85(1):225-231
Background:
To effectively deliver healthcare services, it is necessary to strengthen and expand the education system
for qualified biomedical equipment technicians and engineers. This should be combined with measures such as providing
modern equipment to health facilities and making spare parts available. Internationally, there is a reference of one engineer responsible for 100 pieces of equipment. Additionally, one engineer is responsible for each major piece of equipment
such as MRI, CT, positron emission tomography (PET SCAN), and angiography equipment. However, in our country, the
standard is independent of the number of medical equipment. Although 4 universities nationwide train medical equipment
engineers and technicians, they are unable to meet the growing market needs.
Aim:
To assess human resource needs for biomedical equipment specialists.
Materials and Methods:
We conducted the study using an analytical survey design. In the study, data were collected
from a total of 272 engineers and technicians using a self-administered questionnaire that included years of work experience, post-graduate training, qualification level, and workload. The data were processed using SPSS Statistics 26 software, and the results were presented in figures, tables, and sentences.
Results:
Of the professionals surveyed, 72.4% were male, 95.6% were full-time employees, and 68.8% had a bachelor’s
degree. However, the majority (90.4%) of the professionals did not have a professional degree. When asked about the
availability of on-the-job and other training among the professionals 73.5% had not received any training at all. The level
of training received by professionals did not depend on the organization they worked for. However, there was a statistically significant difference between the level of training received from foreign and manufacturer-sponsored organizations.
The professionals surveyed had relatively little training since they started working. As the number of years of experience
in their profession increased, the number of times they participated in manufacturer-sponsored training increased. However, the number of times they participated in domestic, foreign, or postgraduate training was not related to the number
of years of experience.
Conclusion
Medical equipment engineers and technicians are working harder than international professionals. The lack
of post-graduate training for healthcare professionals is a concern for the industry.

Mongolian Medical Sciences 2020;193(3):28-34
Background:
Postpartum readmission rate has been increasing after both caesarean and vaginal delivery.
Postpartum diseases, in some cases with infection and anemia, result in hospital readmission. Also
it raises the issue associated with maternal hospital’s healthcare quality. There has lack of study
focusing on postpartum readmission. So we will study postpartum readmission rate.
Material and Methods:
112 patients who readmitted in Amgalan maternity hospital in Ulaanbaatar were involved in this study.
We used patient’s medical history to determine risk factors resulted in hospital readmission after
caesarean and vaginal therapy.
Results:
The mean age of women delivered by cesarean was 30.2±7.32 and vaginal delivery’s was 28.3±7.21.
34.8 percent of women who readmitted after vaginal delivery had 1-3 readmission days and 56.5
percent was 4-6 days and 8.7 percent was 7-10 days. Readmission day for women delivered
by caesarean was 1-3 days in 21.2 percent of these, 4-6 days in 56.1 percent and 7-10 days in
19.7 percent. The mean readmission day of women delivered by vaginal delivery was 4.73±1.61
(mean±SD) and the mean of women delivered by caesarean delivery was 5.54±2.34 (mean±SD). In
each category, there had 24.2-28.3 percent cases with lochia. Women who had caesarian delivery
were infected their scar with 24(36.3) cases. Renal urinary system infection had in 12(26.0) women
delivered by vaginal delivery.
Conclusion
58.9 percent of total readmissions cases were caesarean and 41.1 percent was vaginal delivery.
Lochia and renal urinary infection had influence in readmission after vaginal delivery. Also both lochia
and infected wound impacted on postpartum readmission after caesarian delivery.
