MISSION ULAAN BAATOR, MONGOLIA

I had an opportunity to provide some training for young doctors & specialist in Ulaan Baator on OASIS & Urogynae update. A team of 4 urogynaecologist ( Me, Dr Ng Poh Yin, Dr Tan GI & Dr Ida Lily Waty) manage to organise & execute this valuable training.  It took us near full one day to reach Ulaan Baator, as there is no direct flights from KL. The Trip was co-organise by MUGS & Mongolian Urogynae society and Mongolian O & G society. During this trip we had lectures on OASIS & wet lab / hands on sessions with the mongolian trainees & specialist. The day 2 was mainly an update in Urogynaecology. The training was well accepted. We had nearly 40 doctors from different parts of Mongolia participated in the training.

Following the training course, we also had life time opportunity to explore deep part of Mongolia. It was vast & unexplored territory. 

Mongolia is a country sandwiched by Russia in the north & china in the south-east. It has vast steppe land. The total population is about 4 million & more than half of them live in Ulaan Baator (Capital of Mongolia). Mongolia was at one time a great country.  Genghis Khan is a great Mongol emperor who had conquered large part of Central Asia and China in  13 & 14th century.

          The Ulaan Baator City is a modern City. The Main hospital is well equipped and up to date.

                     The country has beautiful terrin. The people are super friendly and welcoming. 

Overall it was a great teaching & exploration trip for all of us
