Brief introduction
Mongolian Society of Digestive Endoscopy (MSDE) was established in 2006. There are 15 members of the board of directors. It is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that integrates over 200 members who are professional gastroenterologist, endoscopic doctors, nurses, engineers and scientists. Our society is working for their common interest and goals.
The MSDE operates in compliance with the Mongolian national laws and regulations for non-governmental and non-profit organization.
Aims
- Introduce new technology for gastrointestinal endoscopy field
- Introduce novel treatment methods for endoscopic diagnosis and treatment
- Continues training for endoscopic doctors, nurses and staffs
- Keeping discussion for improving national guideline and updating standard methods

- Health education in prevention of precursors of digestive tract in the community
Achievements
- In 2006 just after establishing our society, first we conducted a nationwide endoscopic equipment survey. That time 92 percent of all national endoscopy system was optical fibroscopy system. ・ In 2008 we submit the proposal to Mongolian government to renew endoscopy system. Collaborating with policymakers of the Ministry of Health we replaced all optical fibroscopy system to upgrade 100% video system. It allowed us to improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment of digestive tract diseases
- Since 2006 every year we have been organizing professional meeting for digestive disease week and twice a year conducting endoscopic training course for endoscopic doctors and nurses
- Previously endoscopic doctors were graduated from surgeons and radiologists in Mongolia. Fortunately, since 2008 we changed this structure to endoscopic doctors graduated from Gastroenterologist which allowed us for improving our skills and preparing internationally qualified specialists.・ Since 2014 active research and support activities for national and international research are being conducted.・ New endoscopic treatment technologies introduced and localized: Hemostatic procedures, ESD, EMR, EVL, LECS, ERCP, EUS, POEM, ARM, Dilatation, Gastric balloon
