According to the World Health Organization (WHO),Mongolia is one of the countries with the highest incidence rates of liver cancer,etc. in the world. Among them,Mongolia's liver cancer incidence rate is the highest in the world,with Mongolian men's liver cancer incidence rate being 8 times as high as the global average and Mongolian women's liver cancer incidence rate being 16 times as high.Cervical cancer in Mongolia also has the highest incidence rate among Asian countries,and is the second most commonly detected cancer among Mongolian women,after liver cancer. However,Mongolia's cervical cancer screening rate is very low compared to its incidence rate,with only 29.7% of women in Mongolia aged 15 to 49 years ever having received cervical cancer screening.In addition,Mongolia is one of the top 30 countries selected by WHO in terms of the tuberculosis incidence rate. In particular,the tuberculosis infection rate among Mongolian adolescents is continuously increasing,with the childhood tuberculosis incidence rate of 10%.
