INVITATION FOR EXRESSION OF INTEREST CONSULTING SERVICES, NATIONAL (WITH DURATION OF 24 MONTHS UPON CONTRACT SIGNING)

•  

 
“Improving Access to Health Services for Disadvantaged Groups Investment Program” is the first multi-tranche financing program in the health sector of Mongolia that aims to reinforce past and ongoing sector reforms by expanding and improving access to quality primary and secondary health services in marginalized areas of Ulaanbaatar ger (traditional tent) areas, Khovd and Uvs aimags (provinces) and selected soums (aimag sub-districts).  It will also improve health financing systems and reduce out-of-pocket health expenditure nationwide. For more information about the project please refer to the website: httPE://www.adb.org/projects/49173-003/main#project-overview. 
These assignments are relevant to the project component—improving health care financing for universal health coverage (UHC) —which aims to strengthen a strategic purchasing capacity at the national level. In 2020, the Parliament of Mongolia approved changes in the laws to transfer state funds for health services under the state’s responsibility to the Health Insurance General Office (HIGO), which now acts as a single purchaser of health services under the Ministry of Health’s (MOH) supervision. Strengthening the strategic purchasing capacity of the HIGO, thus, is an emerging challenge for the government of Mongolia.
