Group says Mongolia might miss out on anti-TB money

At a press conference in Ulaanbaatar on Wednesday, international health organizations warned that Mongolia stands to lose USD 600,000 for anti-tuberculosis programs. WHO specialist J.Narantuya, the president of Mongolia’s anti-tuberculosis center, and representatives of the NGO Global Foundation took part in the press conference.

The officials said Global Foundation has pledged USD 600,000 to research the spread of tuberculosis in Mongolia, but that money must be matched by Mongolian sources. So far it hasn’t been matched, which is why Global Foundation may rescind its pledge.
