Abstract
The vast territory, extreme climate, and small, widely dispersed, nomadic population of Mongolia pose challenges to health care services and education. This sub-project explored optimal design and implementation strategies for ICT-based health education at a distance, and investigated the effectiveness of ICT-based Distance Education (DE) in training nurses and communities about emerging health issues. Based on the results, the adoption of DE for graduate training is being considered at the Health Sciences University of Mongolia (HSUM), and the use of TV programs for health education for rural citizens has been introduced to officers in charge of public health and education.
