As of today, citizens in Mongolia can now access real-time drug price information and pharmacy locations via the newly launched website em.hdc.gov.mn. This public platform allows users to search for the price of a specific medication and see which pharmacies stock it and where they are located.
Currently, the system includes data from 2,605 pharmacies and price information for 2,565 active medications listed in the national registry of approved drugs. Beyond price and location, users can view detailed information in Mongolian, such as usage instructions, contraindications, ingredients, dosage, manufacturer, and country of origin.
The platform also offers alternatives to prescribed medications, helping users find similar or substitute options when necessary.
Drug prices displayed on the system reflect the latest real transaction price registered in the national E-Barimt (e-receipt) system, ensuring transparency and up-to-date data. The Minister of Health of Mongolia says that by making drug prices publicly accessible, the Government aims to reduce artificial price inflation and ease the financial burden on citizens caused by high medicine costs.
Health Minister Chinburen Jigjidsuren stated that further developments are planned for the system. In the future, it will include information such as pharmacy stock levels, customs data, and supplier pricing, making the pharmaceutical supply chain more transparent.
The system was developed over the course of one month with the involvement of relevant government agencies and is officially available to the public starting on October 7, 2025.
