A small Chinese hospital, named "An Kang," was opened in Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia?recently.

"The hospital is equipped with advanced equipment and can make exact diagnoses," said Li Huanpeng, the hospital manager.

"I hope this will contribute to the civil exchange between China and Mongolia. It can also serve Chinese people in Mongolia," he added.

The hospital has three Chinese doctors on its staff, who communicate with patients via interpreters.

Statistics show that about 30,000 Mongolian citizens visit China and other countries every year for medical treatment.
