Figure 1. Distribution of advanced cross-sectional imaging capabilities in Mongolia. Of the 14 computed tomography (CT) scanning units, six are in the capital city, Ulaanbaatar. Five of six units capable of writing to compact discs are also located in Ulaanbaatar. For multi-detector CT scanners with two or more channels, 1.25mm slice thickness and 1mm reconstruction intervals are possible. There are two magnetic resonance imaging units in Mongolia, also located in Ulaanbaatar. Red lines depict the regional borders of the aimags (states) comprising Mongolia and do not represent roads.

Our Philosophy

Emergency Medicine is a specialty which closely reflects societal challenges and consequences of public policy decisions. The emergency department specifically deals with social injustice, health and economic disparities, violence, substance abuse, and disaster preparedness and response. This journal focuses on how emergency care affects the health of the community and population, and conversely, how these societal challenges affect the composition of the patient population who seek care in the emergency department. The development of better systems to provide emergency care, including technology solutions, is critical to enhancing population health.
