According to the Government resolution, doctors and medical workers whose pay falls under the TUEM, TUM, and TU classifications will have their base salaries increased to ₮3 million tugriks by the end of 2026. The schedule is as follows:

From January 1, 2026: +30 percent

From September 1, 2026: +9 percent
From October 1, 2026: +9 percent
From November 1, 2026: +9 percent
From December 1, 2026: +9 percent
