About the Conference
The “Mongolian Bone and Muscle Health 2025” International Conference brings together physicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals to advance the understanding, prevention, and treatment of osteoporosis, fractures, and musculoskeletal disorders in Mongolia.
Rationale
Osteoporosis and bone fractures place a major burden on individuals, families, and the healthcare system, reducing quality of life and increasing healthcare costs. In Mongolia, fall-related injuries are rising every year. Despite this growing burden, research, education, and clinical resources dedicated to bone health remain limited. This conference brings the latest international diagnostic, treatment, and research findings to Mongolia’s medical community.
Goal
To advance the theoretical and clinical knowledge of Mongolian physicians, healthcare workers, and researchers in musculoskeletal health, osteoporosis, and fracture prevention.
Objectives
- Share the latest research and clinical updates on musculoskeletal disorders, osteoporosis, and fractures
- Provide guidance on nutrition, pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to osteoporosis prevention
- Introduce the latest technologies for bone density assessment
Who Should Attend
Undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students in medicine and public health, along with general and specialist physicians, are invited to participate in this internationally organized conference.
