Introduction: There is an urgent need to study client satisfaction in assessing the quality and availability of health care. Compliance with the needs of consumers of any care, its accessibility, professional ethics, speed of work, determining customer satisfaction allows for evidence-based decision-making. Therefore, satisfaction surveys should be conducted at short intervals and the results used for decision making. One hundred and fifty million people on the planet pay for their health care every year and face financial hardship. Hundreds of millions of them are living in poverty, according to the World Health Organization’s 2010 year report. Governments must ensure that all people receive health care and are protected from health-related financial risks. We believe that the current state of quality and access to health care in our country does not fully meet the needs of the population. 62.4% of customer satisfaction surveys conducted in 2013 that health care was inadequate. However, customer satisfaction surveys on health insurance coverage are rare. The process of providing discounted medicines through health insurance varies depending on the health needs of consumers and their budgetary capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the factors that affect customer satisfaction. Methods: In our study, we looked by retrospective at health and health insurance reporting indicators, Satisfaction of customers who bought medicines at pharmacies with health insurance prescriptions was surveyed in a one-moment survey.
We collected information on the satisfaction status of 525 people who used health insurance prescriptions from 36 pharmacies from December 2018 to April 2019 and from January to February 2021 using preprocessed cards. Conclusion
1. The cost of diagnosis from the health insurance fund and the selection of drugs to be included in the list of drug price discounts are related to the prevalence of the disease in Mongolia.
2. Difficulties in accessing drug price reductions from the health insurance fund can lead to dissatisfaction with the approved budget and the availability of drugs on the list.
3. In the case of Ulaanbaatar pharmacies, the satisfaction rate of consumers who use the discounted price of medicines according to the health insurance prescription is 3.634 or 72.688% in the first stage survey and 3.912 ± 0.50 or 78.248% in the second stage survey.

To study some direct fees paid by a household of a hospitalized patient during the treatment at secondary or tertiary care hospitals.The study was conducted using cross-sectional design. The data was collected from 6 specialized clinical centers, 7 hospitals of provincial and regional diagnostic and treatments centers, and 6 district hospitals using the data of 1335 in-patients hospitalized during 2012-2013. The in- patients’ medical histories were processed using descriptive research methods by using specially designed cards to register the costs for medications and medical equipment. In addition, the questionnaire was used to collect the data on direct and indirect costs associated with hospitalization paid by individuals. Statistical data was analyzed using SPSS 21.0 software. 96% (1282) of total hospitalized patients were covered by health insurance. However, 28.4% of them paid for their drug treatment out-of-pocket. 62% of in-patients who paid for their own medicines responded that the medicines were written in their medical history but the hospitals were out of stock and therefore did not provide them to the patients. 3% of in-patients who paid for their medicines were reimbursed the costs of medicines. When comparing the informal costs associated with a hospital stay to the total household income, 23% of respondents said that those expenditures were high. While 54% of total costs spent by hospitals on diagnosis and treatment of in-patients were used for medicines, the in-patients’ out-of-pocket expenditures were higher in secondary care hospitals.Due to drug supply in secondary and tertiary care hospitals is insufficient to meet the needs for drug treatment; in-patients are required to spend a part of their household income to pay for drug treatment during their hospital stay.

BACKGROUND: Bladder cancer is a cancer of significant morbidity and mortality in the worldwide. It is the second most common urological cancer in Mongolia. It is important to understand the risk factors of bladder cancer.We evaluated the association of smoking, alcohol intake, body mass index and other potential risk factors with bladder cancer incidence in Mongolians.MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed data from a case-control study (116 histologically confirmed bladder cancer cases and 300 cancer-free healthy, age, gender-matched controls). All participants signed the consent form andfilled out the structured questionnaire including cigarette smoking, BMI, chronic urinary disease andalcohol drinking etc. Using logistic regression we estimated the covariate-adjusted odds ratio (OR) and95% confidence interval (CI) of the associations.RESULTS: Mean age of the patients with bladder cancer was 56±10.5 years and 79.3% male and 20.7% female.Cigarette smoking, history of urinary tract diseases and body mass index were associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer OR 6, 48 (95% CI 1, 61-1, 70), OR 80 (95% CI 1, 48-1, 93) and OR=9.8 (95% CI 2.32-2.91) respectively but not alcohol drinking OR 0, 26 (95% CI 1, 56-1, 66).CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that cigarette smoking, history of urinary tract diseases and body mass indexincreased risk of bladder cancer in Mongolian patients.

Abstract National Occupational Standards specify standards of performance that people are expected to achieve in their work, and the knowledge and skills they need to perform effectively. The National occupational standards for supporting teaching and learning in schools were developed to help improve the capacity and capability of the school workforce; they can make an important contribution to raising standards in schools.
National Occupational Standards describe best practice by bringing together skills, knowledge and values. They are valuable tools as benchmarks for qualifications as well as for defining roles at work, staff recruitment, supervision and appraisal.
Globally the roles and scope of work for technicians and pharmacy support workforce cadres vary greatly according to country and practice areas within that country. The School of Pharmacy MNUMS and Mongolian Association of Clinical Pharmacist and Association of Pharmaceutical Management has developed 4 phases National Occupational Standards.

Background: Community pharmacies are accessible healthcare institutions that offer services without the need for appointments or prepayment. In recent years, the scope of pharmacist responsibilities has expanded from merely dispensing medications and medical devices to providing patient-centered pharmaceutical care, health promotion, and disease prevention. As a result, pharmacists are increasingly confronted with ethical challenges in their daily practice. Aim: To identify the ethical issues faced by pharmacists working in community pharmacies in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted between March and September 2024 among pharmacists working in community pharmacies in Ulaanbaatar. Participants included 374 pharmacists who had been working for at least three months, held valid professional licenses, and voluntarily agreed to participate. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. Results: Among the respondents, 339 (90.4%) were female, 301 (80.48%) were pharmacists, and 230 (61.5%) were under 30 years old. Additionally, 214 (57.2%) had worked in a community pharmacy for less than five years. Open-ended responses were coded into three major categories and 15 subcategories: (1) pharmacy management and organization, (2) compliance with laws and regulations, and (3) professional communication with clients. The most frequently reported ethical issues were: Customers demanding prescription-only medications without a valid prescription (56.6%), Negative or inappropriate client behavior (27.5%), Attempts to use expired or invalid prescriptions (14%) Conclusion 1. A total of 56.1% of pharmacists demonstrated insufficient knowledge of the Code of Ethics for healthcare professionals, which is essential for their professional practice. 2. Among pharmacists, 54.5% showed a negative attitude, and 48.9% exhibited inappropriate practices when faced with certain ethical situations. 3. The most common ethical challenges faced by pharmacists include: Requests from clients to dispense prescription-only medicines without a valid prescription (56.6%), Unethical or inappropriate behavior from clients (27.5%), Attempts to obtain medicines using invalid prescriptions (14%).

Background: Medical experts in pharmacies are the most accessible health professionals and play a key role in primary health care. They must strike a balance between their autonomy, the objectives of the company, and professional standards, while facing a lot of ethical dilemmas. This phenomenon can impact the quality of pharmaceutical care, as highlighted in several studies. Numerous studies have been carried out internationally to explore the medical ethics knowledge of pharmacists working in community pharmacies, their attitudes towards emerging ethical issues, and identification of their common problems. However, research in this area is scarce in Mongolia, which serves as the basis for conducting this study. Aim: Assessing the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of pharmacists regarding professional ethics in community pharmacies in Ulaanbaatar city. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted using an analytical cross-sectional study design and included 374 pharmacists who had been working in community pharmacies in Ulaanbaatar for more than three months, had a valid professional license, and consented to participate in the study between March and September 2024 (ethical approval number 2024/3-01). To determine the degree of knowledge, attitude, and practice, a questionnaire including 39 closed questions and 4 groups was used to gather survey data. For statistical analysis, SPSS-25 software was utilized. Results: Of those who took part, 301 (80.48%) were pharmacists, 73 (19.52%) were pharmacy technicians, and 339 (90.4%) were women. Additionally, 259 (69.3%) work in secondary pharmacies, and 305 (81.6%) have received ethics training. The study shows that 56.1% of pharmacists had insufficient knowledge of professional ethics, 54.5% had poor attitudes towards ethical issues, and 48.9% had inappropriate practices. When analyzed in relation to their profession, the ethical knowledge of pharmacists did not differ by profession, age, years of experience in community pharmacies, professional degree, and university graduated, but it was statistically significantly correlated with the participants’ self-assessed ethical knowledge (CL 95%, p=0.0001). Conclusions 1. The knowledge of professional ethical principles and standards is insufficient among pharmacists. 2. While handling emerging ethical issues, they have a negative attitudes and inappropriate practices. Consequently, it is compulsory to intensify training on the ethical code of conduct for medical experts s based on the needs of pharmaceutical professionals.

ABSTRACT. Recurrent aphthous stomatitis, or RAS, is common oral disorder of uncertain etiopathogenesis for which only symptomatic therapy is available. This article reviews the current clinical features of RAS among study patients and the result of therapeutic effects of the herbal preparation Akhizunber. Over the past four years we have treated 61 RAS patients with different clinical forms by herbal preparation Akhizunber or Alumekatin. The distribution of clinical forms RAS RAS among study patients were minor aphthae -75.4%, major aphthae -16.4% and herpetiform ulcers -8.2% respectively. The healing time of treated Akhizunber was in minor aphthae -9.28±4.82 days, major aphthae -14 days and herpetiform ulcers -12 days. Of the total study participants, the patients treated by Akhizunber reported a rapid and complete recovery from RAS during treatment compared with treated patients by Alumekatin. Treatment with herbal preparation Akhizunber can be effective for patients suffering from RAS in any clinic form, regardless of their ulcer number and size.

Background: Among the total healthcare waste generated from health-related activities, 10–20% is considered haz ardous, posing significant threats to both the environment and human health. Approximately 3% of healthcare waste is pharmaceutical waste. In Ulaanbaatar city, an estimated 2.65 tons of healthcare waste is generated daily (0.78 tons of medical waste and 1.87 tons of general waste). With the continuous increase in pharmaceutical consumption, the improper disposal of pharmaceutical waste has emerged as a major environmental concern, adversely affecting nature, animals, and the food chain. Contamination from pharmaceutical waste, such as the development of antibiotic resistance, is closely linked to inadequate public awareness of waste management. Aim: This study aimed to assess the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of pharmacy technicians in community pharmacies regarding pharmaceutical waste management. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among pharmacy technicians across Mongolia. As of 2023, there are 4,959 licensed pharmacy professionals in the country. Using a representative sampling method, data were collected from 360 pharmacist and pharmacy technicians. Data were analyzed using MS Excel and SPSS version 26. Results: A total of 360 pharmacists from both urban and rural areas participated in the study. The assessment was based on a 5-point Likert scale, with scores of 1-2 considered negative and 3–5 considered positive. The average scores for knowledge, skills, and attitudes were 3.3, 3.06, and 3.25 respectively. While individual scores were satisfactory, the results of questions targeting social awareness were relatively low. Conclusion The knowledge, skills, and attitudes of pharmacy technicians regarding pharmaceutical waste management were found to be satisfactory. However, to further improve knowledge levels, it is recommended to implement additional training programs related to pharmaceutical waste management among pharmacy technicians.
