Local Abstract: [PIP] Mongolia's rapid transformation in 1990 into a democratic, market economy republic, after 70 years of socialist rule, caused financial chaos from which the country is only recently recovering. Health care services deteriorated in the context of this economic crisis. The Mongolian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare and AVSC jointly sent teams of experts into four parts of the country in March 1998 to assess the quality and availability of reproductive health services. Three Mongolian doctors and the author visited Uvs aimag (province) as part of the assessment, where they interviewed potential reproductive health care clients and their providers about what they need and want from the health care system. Long distances and transportation problems reaching available health care providers, myths and traditional attitudes about contraceptives which limit their use, inadequate access to reproductive health services and information among men and women, the absence of anesthesia for use during abortions, inadequate STD prevention and control, and poor or lacking publicly provided reproductive health care for adolescents are among the major problems found to be currently plaguing the delivery of reproductive health care in Mongolia. The findings of this assessment will be used by the UN Population Fund to design and fund a program to improve services in Mongolia. That program will be implemented by the government and carried out by AVSC. - Publication Date: Date Created: 20020926 Date Completed: 19990317 Latest Revision: 20221207
