Who holds the health record in Mongolia?
In 2026, Mongolia scores 50 out of 100 for how much say a person has over their own health record. It is tied for 51st of 198 countries and territories, and could rank anywhere from 41st to 71st allowing for scoring error, in the Mixed band (45 to 64). Who holds the keys: you and the health system. Source: Health Record Rights Index, SuperTruth, this country's data as of October 1, 2026.
The person has real controls inside a government or provider system. Its strongest right, compared with the typical country, is control over who sees it (47 out of 100, against 30 for the typical country). No right falls below the typical country; the closest to it is protection from sale and ads (45 out of 100, against 45 for the typical country).
Mongolian law requires consent and notices when health data moves, but the national exchange is still being built and usage is unproven.

What would Mongolia need to change to score higher?
Mongolia sits in Mixed (45 to 64); Strong starts at 65. Every right is at or above the typical country. The two with the most room to grow, weighted by how much each counts, are control over who sees it (47 out of 100, against 30 for the typical country) and getting your full record (60 out of 100, against 40 to 45 for the typical country). Our scoring rules give more points for:
Control over who sees it: A way to say no to sharing (or to be asked first), a log you can read of who opened your record, and finer choices about who sees what. Together these put this right at 60 to 80 out of 100.
Getting your full record: A national portal that shows most people at least part of their record (a summary, prescriptions, lab results) puts this right at 60 to 75 out of 100. A near-full record that you can download, with a long history and used by most people, puts it at 76 to 90.
