Mongolia

Mongolia is amongst the least densely populated countries on earth. Healthcare provision is sporadic and unreliable. Many hospitals are under equipped and understaffed. A large number of Mongolians travel to China and Russia for treatment. The Mongolian government currently levies a 5% tariff on medicines, in addition to a 10% sales tax.
