History
Fundamental of the ophthalmology training was settled by Russian ophthalmologist Bajenov A.S. at the Medical faculty of the Mongolian National University in 1946-1947 class year. Our teacher, first ophthalmologist Nyamaa Rinchen was one of the 13 doctors who graduated during this class year. The ophthalmology department was conducted by other large departments due to the small capacity of the ophthalmology training until 1995.
