SNOMED International is pleased to welcome Mongolia as the most recent Member to join our global community.
Mongolia, an East Asian country with a population of 3.5 million, is the 12th Asia Pacific country to join SNOMED International, the not-for-profit organization that owns, administers and develops SNOMED CT. Membership enables the country-wide use of SNOMED CT, a comprehensive, multilingual healthcare terminology created for use by healthcare professionals that enables the care of individuals to be captured in electronic health records, facilitating information sharing, decision support and analytics for safe and effective health information exchange.
Mongolia currently uses some international health data standards, such as ICD10 and DICOM, to support data exchange across systems. With a commitment to strengthen clinical information exchange by implementing SNOMED CT, the country will make even greater strides toward enabling interoperability.
“Embracing SNOMED CT is a vital step towards a unified, accurate, and efficient healthcare system,” says Myagmarulzii Enkhbaatar, Head of Digital Development, Health Data Division, Ministry of Health in Mongolia. “By integrating this comprehensive clinical terminology, we pave the way for better patient outcomes, seamless data exchange, and empowered clinical decision-making. Together, we build a healthier future."
