PR93450
ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia, Dec. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
- Mongolia secures nearly 70% vaccination rates and an overall casualty
rate of only 0.3%
- Successes against COVID-19 position country well for ambitious and
progressive reforms as part of government's Vision 2050 agenda
Mongolia is preparing to build on the success of its COVID-19 management
policies with an ambitious new budget and progressive initiatives as part of
its Vision 2050 reform agenda.
Mongolia's vaccination and booster programme has so far resulted in 66% of the
total population, including 91% of adults, being doubled-vaccinated and 21% of
the total population, including 35% of adults, receiving their booster.
Supported by responsible public health policies, the country is seeing a steady
decline in infections. Daily cases in November were down 70% from September and
October, falling below 150 per day at the end of the month, with an overall
case fatality rate of only 0.3%.
According to the Worldometer reference website, Mongolia ranked 39th out of 224
nations for total cases per million people as of 1 December. Furthermore, the
government's decision in June to increase the number of hospital beds available
for COVID-19 patients to 23,000 enabled it to hospitalise 27% of its cases,
including those at risk of developing severe symptoms, helping reduce the
number of fatalities.
These and other steps against COVID-19, which also include a wide ranging MNT
10 trillion (US$3.5 billion) stimulus package credited with saving over 280,000
jobs, have left Mongolia well placed to move past the challenges of the
pandemic. The country now looks set to begin realising its Vision 2050 agenda,
the long-term development plan introduced by new Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene
Luvsannamsrai. As Mongolia marks 100 years of political independence, following
the 1921 Mongolian Revolution, Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene has positioned Vision
2050 as a chance for Mongolia to achieve economic independence with a
diversified economy, improved governance, green development, and improved
quality of life among other goals.
Implementing Vision 2050's wide-ranging policies for Mongolia's economic and
social development also received a boost in November with the ratification of
Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene's 2022 budget, which shows a spending increase of 4
trillion MNT ($US1.4 billion) over 2021.
