Luxembourg's development cooperation - Annual report 2017

Since 2001, Luxembourg has been actively involved in the health sector in Mongolia. In 2017, Luxembourg consolidated two projects that established e-health networks to provide practically all the Mongolian population with cardiology and mother and child health coverage. The Shastin Hospital, the centre for the cardiology section of the project, collaborates closely with the Luxembourg INCCI (Institut national de chirurgie cardiaque et de cardiologie interventionnelle) to carry out the most complicated heart surgery and is also developing cooperative associations for technical assistance, in particular with the Hôpital universitaire de Strasbourg and the Korea Heart Foundation.

In 2017, Luxembourg’s development cooperation ended its capacity building and training project benefiting the staff of the Mongolian Financial Regulatory Commission (FRC) in particular, but continues to work with the HoT (House of Training – Luxembourg agency for financial technology transfer) in the finance sector. HoT is helping to implement a banking training programme organised by and for young management staff of the commercial banks and the Mongolian Central Bank.
