GENEVA UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL WILL HOST SPECIALISTS FROM THE NATIONAL CANCER CENTRE OF MONGOLIA

An initiative to renew and extend the relations between the National Cancer Centre of Mongolia and Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) was proposed by the Embassy of Mongolia in Switzerland beginning from September 2022.

Since then, reciprocal visits of the leadership of both hospitals were implemented successfully in Ulaanbaatar and in Geneva in 2023, as well as onsite and online coordination meetings between the staffs of the two hospitals and the Embassy were held regularly.

As a result of this ongoing active and mutually beneficial cooperation, the two sides agreed to engage into the next phase of cooperation on June 26th, 2024. The next phase of cooperation encompasses the following:

• The exchange of knowledge and expertise between the two institutions, with HUG sharing its experience with advanced treatments and their side effects and learning from the NCCM on the high volume of specific cases it handles.

• HUG will host Mongolian oncologists and surgeons for three-month training periods in Geneva, focusing on practical skills and advanced treatments, while Swiss experts will continue visiting Mongolia to provide hands-on training and support.
