THE SUPPORT TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NATIONAL CARDIOVASCULAR CENTRE (NCC)
EBRD Finances USD 34.87 Million Sovereign Loan for New National Cardiovascular Centre in Ulaanbaatar
In a major step toward upgrading Mongolia’s healthcare infrastructure and advancing sustainable development, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is providing a sovereign loan of USD 34.87 million to finance the construction of a state-of-the-art facility for the National Cardiovascular Centre (NCC) in Ulaanbaatar. Jointly implemented by the Ministry of Health of Mongolia, the Third Central State Hospital (TCSH) and the NCC, the project will deliver a modern 120-bed healthcare facility and associated infrastructure designed to meet growing national demand.
Beyond expanding medical capacity the project serves as a key initiative under the Ulaanbaatar Green City Action Plan (GCAP). Engineered with high-performance sustainability standards, the new building is targeted to achieve an EPC A+ certification, outperforming baseline benchmarks by 22% in primary energy efficiency and 38% in water efficiency. With a 100% Green Economy Transition (GET) share and an Expected Transition Impact (ETI) score of 70, the facility integrates climate change adaptation solutions optimized indoor climate control and advanced resource management.
This investment significantly enhances the quality, safety and accessibility of high-complexity cardiac care across Mongolia helping reduce the country’s reliance on costly overseas medical treatments. Furthermore, the initiative emphasizes inclusive development by expanding clinical teaching, professional training and telemedicine capabilities—strengthening regional healthcare networks and extending specialized medical services to underserved rural populations.
