On June 24, Prof. Khurelbaatar Nyamdavaa, President of Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences (MNUMS), Prof. Batbaatar Gunchin, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dr. Adilsaikhan Mendjargal, Director of the Mongolia-Japan Hospital of MNUMS, paid a courtesy visit to President Takashi Wada. MNUMS is the only national medical university in Mongolia and operates 4 affiliated hospitals. Among them, the Mongolia-Japan Hospital of MNUMS, which opened in 2019 with the support of JICA, was originally under the Ministry of Education and Science. It has been under MNUMS since February this year, and is expected to develop further as a university hospital. There are many classes offered in English at MNUMS, which enables it to accept many researchers and students from overseas, and they would like to accept more from Japan too. President N. Khurelbaatar once served as the Minister of Health of the Mongolian Ministry of Health, and currently also serves as the board chairman of a coalition of six national universities in Mongolia. There was a lively discussion about promoting exchanges with other national universities through the MNUMS.

 MNUMS marks its 80th anniversary this year, and the commemoration ceremony is planned in late September. It was a pleasant surprise for President Wada to be invited to the ceremony at the meeting.
