A professional home for hepatology in Mongolia
Mongolia carries one of the highest rates of viral hepatitis and liver disease in the world. The Society brings together the doctors, scientists, and public health workers confronting that reality every day.
We set clinical guidelines, run continuing education for healthcare professionals, and partner with international hepatology associations to bring the latest research and treatment standards home.
