Summary••••To develop and strengthen national legal and regulatory
frameworks for nuclear energy infrastructure, systematic
measures such as amendment to laws, introduction of necessary
regulations and standards are taken;
Nuclear innovative technologies are entering into service,especially in nuclear medicine and radiation therapy. Major
investments in healthcare sector expected to support in improving
the medical services in the country dramatically;
Skilled HRs and supplementary instrumentations, which will
enable the installed equipment to function fully, are essential for
healthcare sector in Mongolia.
Mongolia is aiming to introduce modern medical applications
based on nuclear technologies including SBRT, IGRT and IMRT
in near future.
