Introduction: Hypertension and diabetes are an emerging problem within Mongolia. The prevalence of high blood pressure was 28.1% and diabetes 8.2% in 2009. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been one of the leading causes of mortality since 2000. NCD Risk Factors Survey in Mongolia conducted in 2009 found that a large proportion of the population has never had their blood pressure (42.6%) or blood glucose (85.2%) measured. This suggests that early detection of risk factors for diabetes and CVDs is limited in Mongolia
