This research explores the intersection of bioethics and public administration by analyzing Mongolia’s governmental response during the COVID-19 pandemic. It examines how border closures, quarantines, and freedom restrictions impacted human rights and whether ethical standards were upheld. Using the four core principles of bioethics—autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice—the study reveals gaps in ethical oversight and the lack of professional input in decision-making. The paper argues for institutionalizing ethics in policy frameworks.
