Members of the Working Group held a briefing and provided details on the initiative. The Working Group is responsible for providing professional and methodological support for the construction of the Second National Oncology Center, which will serve as a comprehensive facility for cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, research, and training. 

The Working Group will also work towards addressing the causes and conditions that lead to cancer, strengthening interdisciplinary responsibility and accountability, and ensuring the delivery of high-quality, accessible services.

The second National Oncology Center will be located on 12 hectares of land in the 34th subdistrict of Songinokhairkhan district of Ulaanbaatar. 

The facility, covering 95,000 square meters, is projected to be completed within 4-5 years. The necessary funding for its infrastructure, which is equivalent to 38 trillion tugriks, has been included in the 2025 State Budget of Mongolia.

Cancer-related incidence, mortality, and quality of medical services have become pressing issues in Mongolia. The mortality rate from cancer in Mongolia is 24%, which is considerably higher than the global average of 17%. Additionally, about 70% of cancer patients are diagnosed at later stages of the disease.
