Health as a social compact: Transforming health collaboration in Mongolia

WHO’s work in Mongolia shows how strong partnerships can expand the reach of health information, strengthen health systems and bring communities together to improve well-being. By collaborating with airlines, banks, youth groups, and global health partners, WHO Mongolia uses everyday platforms—from in‑flight magazines to bank screens and photo camps—to promote credible health messages and drive action on issues like antimicrobial resistance, universal health coverage, climate and health, and disease prevention. These new types of partnerships help counter misinformation, support emergency preparedness, improve access to services and vaccines, and connect global expertise with local needs. The message is clear: protecting health requires collective effort, and meaningful collaboration turns shared responsibility into real impact for people’s health.
