Cancer Care Cooperation: The National Oncology Center of Korea and Mongolia signed an MoU to strengthen cancer prevention and screening, improve disease registration, and expand clinical research and specialist exchanges. Bubonic Plague Watch: Mongolia’s zoonotic disease center warned of rising bubonic plague risk during summer, linked to flea-borne transmission from wild rodents like marmots, urging prevention—especially in provinces flagged as at risk. Skin Health Research: Preliminary observations report on oral ivarmacitinib for stable vitiligo in a small case series, adding to growing interest in JAK-inhibitor approaches. Public Health Context: Heat and infectious-disease risk are also highlighted alongside broader health messaging as summer travel increases rural exposure.
