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.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract:
Burn injury causes considerable incidence of disability, increase of hospitalization and rehabilitation. It is a crucial factor of morbidity and mortality, throughout the world, especially in the developing countries. Burn wound healing is a complex process including inflammation, granulation, and regeneration of the skin tissue. There are many animal and mineral derived agents applied for burn wounds treatment. For example, minerals and animal yellow marrow are applied as standard topical therapy in healing of burn wounds in the history. Specially, Mongolian camel’s (Camelus Bactrianus) yellow marrow and cinders have been used the healing effect standard topical antimicrobial for burn wounds for several centuries. The present study aimed to determine the healing effect of “CIBO” ointment with animal and mineral raw materials on third -degree burn wound in rats.
Introduction:
In our study, we selected an ointment containing a combination of yellow marrow and cinder. In ancient times, Mongolians used camel yellow marrow to relieve joint pain, spread people who had been bedridden for a long time due to the disease, and to prevent caries, and to use it on open wounds. In traditional medicine, cinder has been used as a mineral raw material and has been used to treat frostbite and burns.
Material and methods:
In the Vivar Department of the Pharmacology Sector of the Drug research institute, 18 Wistar white rats weighing 182-220 g fed in one environment for (12 hours a day/12 hour a night) were randomly selected and divided into the following groups. These are: negative control, Group 1 “Yellow marrow + Uvs black cinder”, Group 2 “Yellow marrow + Uvs brown red cinder”, Group 3 “Yellow marrow + Chinese red cinder”, Group 4 “Yellow marrow + Chinese white cinder”, Standard “Mebo” wound ointment. The wound area was prepared by scraping the hair 5 cm from the back of the test animal’s skull. The prepared area was sterilized with 70% ethanol and 10% iodine solution, resulting in a third-degree burn wound of 2.4 cm2. Wound experiential’s ointments were applied once daily for a total of 28 days, and wound healing was evaluated at 0, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after pathogenesis, with 16.1-pixel accuracy. Photo confirmed using a SONY brand camera.
Result:
“CIBO” ointment contains four deferent cinders which are from collected from deferent area and that have been shown to good affect burn wounds, and is more compatible with yellow marrow than Group 4 (Yellow marrow+Chinese white cinder).
Wound healing variables of control group compared with group 4 (Yellow marrow + Chinese white cinder) increased by 11.1% on the 3th day, 4% on the 7th day, 44.8% on the 14th day, and 54.5% on the 21st day. On the 28th day, healing and regeneration were accelerated by 50%.
Conclusion
The group 4 (Yellow marrow + Chinese white cinder) has been shown to have a pharmacological action of rapid healing and regeneration of burn wounds caused by experimental rats. It has also been shown to have pharmacological action to regenerate skin tissue and suppress inflammation caused by burns. Inclusion of Chinese white cinder in “CIBO” ointment promotes regeneration and healing of “CIBO” ointment.

Introduction:
In Mongolia, there is opportunity to replace importing products by using raw materials based on the animal and minerals. Those products can be used for medical purposes.
In traditional medicine, yellow marrow has been widely used to treat burns and mechanical wounds, as well as frozen and open wounds. The purpose of this study was to determine the pharmacological action of “CIBO” ointment. We created a model of mechanical wound to evaluate the healing of wounds and its index after applying the ointment contains the above mentioned raw materials.
Material and methods:
Four different groups of “CIBO” ointment was prepared in the technology sector of the Drug Research Institute. Mebo wound ointment was used for comparison as control. The study was con- ducted in the Pharmacology Sector of the Drug Research Institute on white rats of the WISTAR breed under one feeding regime and one condition (12h / 12h). Mechanical wound injury and exposure to open wounds in experimental rats and its size were measured on the 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th days of treatment. Wound healing, morphology, structure, size, and its index was quan- tified based on the defects. The ointment were applied once a day during the treatment period of 28 days to cover the wound.
Result:
Mechanical wound showed that study treatment group healed 0-6.2% on the 3rd day, 21.4-35.7% on the 7th day, 50-60% on the 14th day, and 33.3-50% on the 21st day separately compared with the untreated group. On the 28th day, all the groups were decreased by 66.6%. The wound index was between from 0.002 to 0.0005 in the all experimental groups. Among experimented groups, the group consists of yellow marrow and Chinese white cinder was showed better performance than other groups.
Conclusion
The study group 4 (Yellow marrow + Chinese white cinder) has been showed to have a pharmacological action of rapid healing and regeneration of burn wounds caused by experimental rats. It has also been shown to have pharmacological action to regenerate skin tissue and suppress caused by mechanicals. Inclusion of Chinese white cinder in “CIBO” ointment promotes regener ation and healing of “CIBO” ointment.
