PROJECT RATIONALE
The old hospital of Bayan-Ovoo soum was built in 1979 and was badly damaged by flood in 2014 and 2015. The State Specialized Inspection Agency determined that the existing health care facility does not meet national hospital sanitary standards. The building has a high risk of contagious diseases, specifically fungal infections to be spread among patients. According to the National Health Service standards, communities with population of 2000-15000 residents must have 15-30 bed hospitals with 24 hour services with staff including doctors, nurses, midwives and support staff. Bayan-Ovoo soum population reached 1737 in 2016 and it was recommended to build 10 bed hospital.
