Mongolia’s emergency response system brings together some dedicated and highly committed professionals - among them, the Ulaanbaatar City Ambulance service and the Mongolian Armed Forces medical teams. They operate in the same city, share a commitment to saving lives, and bring complementary clinical strengths to the table. During our 2025 Mongolia mission, we had the privilege of bringing both teams together for the second year running to train side by side.
What we’re seeing now, two years in, is that the relationship itself has become an asset. Participants aren’t just better at the clinical skills - they know each other. They’ve worked through high-pressure scenarios together. When they meet on scene, that history matters.
70% of the UB City Ambulance workforce has now completed training through this programme. We’re on track for full coverage by 2027.
This is the kind of progress that doesn’t make headlines, but it’s exactly what sustainable emergency system strengthening looks like. Not a single intervention, not a one-off training day, but a programme that returns, builds relationships, and leaves something behind that lasts beyond our time on the ground.
We’ll have more to share from the 2025 mission in the weeks ahead.
