Since 1990, Mongolia's health system has been in transition. Impressive gains have been accomplished through a national immunization program, which was instituted in 1991. Nevertheless, the country continues to confront four major chronic infections: hepatitis B and C, brucellosis, tuberculosis, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). As of 2001, only two cases of HIV infections had been detected in Mongolia, but concern grows that the rate will increase along with the rising rates of STDs and increase in tourism. Other infectious diseases of importance in Mongolia include echinococcosis, plague, tularemia, anthrax, foot-and-mouth, and rabies.
自1990年以来,蒙古的卫生系统一直在转型。通过1991年启动的国家免疫规划取得了令人瞩目的成果。然而,该国仍面临四种主要的慢性感染:乙型和丙型肝炎、布鲁氏菌病、结核病和性传播疾病。截至2001年,蒙古仅检测到两例艾滋病毒感染病例,但随着性传播疾病发病率的上升和旅游业的发展,人们越来越担心感染率会上升。在蒙古其他重要的传染病包括棘球蚴病、鼠疫、兔热病、炭疽、口蹄疫和狂犬病。
