- In Mongolia, you can obtain condoms from many places, including pharmacies, markets, hotels, online vendors, family health centers, Soum Health Centres (SHC), the Aimag health centers, district health centers, specialized centers, hospitals, and Regional diagnostic and treatment centers (RDT). The nomadic and rural population often obtain condoms from BaghFeldsher, which are community health workers who distribute health services in remote areas.
- Tip: At Marie Stopes Mongolia, an NGO that focuses on sexual and reproductive health care services, you can find Trust and Mungulung brand condoms. According to the Marie Stopes Mongolia website, "Despite the country’s logistical challenges, our condom brands ‘Trust’ and ‘Mungulug’ are available nearly everywhere in Mongolia. They’re distributed in a range of places including markets, pharmacies, hotels, and even taxis, and they’re an affordable option for many poor and young Mongolians. We specifically market our ‘Trust’ condom brand to young Mongolians, who are particularly at risk of STIs. Through advertising, packaging and making the brand accessible via youth-friendly channels, we’re working to ensure young people in Mongolia can have safe and healthy sex."
- You can obtain contraceptive pills (birth control pills) from many places, including pharmacies, family health centers, Soum Health Centres (SHC), the Aimag health centers, district health centers, specialized centers, hospitals, and Regional diagnostic and treatment centers (RDT). However, Mongolian pharmacies have experienced stock-outs in recent years, according to a 2016 report from the UNFPA[1], so you may need to visit more than one pharmacy to find the contraceptives you desire. The stock-outs tend to be more worse in Ulaanbaatar than in smaller towns or more remote areas. If you want to visit a local clinic for birth control pills, you can potentially find them at the Marie Stopes Mongolia support office. They also distribute condoms and emergency contraception.
