Heartfelt Reunion: A Story of Lifesaving Surgery

During our recent trip to Selenge province, we had a special encounter with Sarantuya, whose life was changed by heart surgery over five decades ago. In 1971, as a child, Sarantuya underwent surgery performed by Dr. Bundan, a pioneer in Mongolian cardiology and the father of Dr. Boldsaikhan. Sarantuya shared her gratitude and fond memories, highlighting how Dr. Bundan's skillful care had enabled her to lead a fulfilling life as a teacher and mother of four.
