Pyongyang, June 3 (KCNA) — Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the
Workers’ Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic
People’s Republic of Korea, gave field guidance at a hospital and leisure
complex under construction in Kangdong County of the DPRK on June 2.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was accompanied by Kim Tok Hun,
Kim Jae Ryong, O Su Yong and other senior officials of the Central
Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.
Kim Jong Un was greeted on the spot by commanding officers of the units
of the Korean People's Army involved in the construction and officials of
designing institutions.
First, he looked round the Kangdong County Hospital under construction.
He heard from officials concerned about a report on the progress made in the
construction so far and the long-term plan for construction progress.
Going round various places of the construction site including the outpatient
ward section, operating theatre section, inpatient ward section and the
underground car park section, he learned in detail about the construction.
Saying that the work of building modern public health facilities in cities and
counties across the country is a great revolution for developing the public
healthcare which has lagged behind any other sector to surpass other sectors
in ten years, he stressed that our spirit of devoted service to the people and
attitude to them should be examined once again through the course of
successfully carrying out this innovative plan with redoubled efforts. And he
reaffirmed his determination and will to build all city and county hospitals into
symbols of socialist public health in our era which fully embody the Party's
plan for modernizing public health and its idea on Juche-oriented architectural
beauty.
Acquainting himself with the functionality and convenience of elements of
different systems of the hospital, he pointed out every measure to be taken.

He referred to the importance of responsibly building three hospitals of
different scales including the above-said construction project being carried out
this year as model ones for the overall rejuvenation of public health of the
country.
In the course of this, best plans for obtaining optimum results in designing
regional hospitals of different classes will be confirmed and on the basis of it,
the future plans for building overall public health facilities will be drawn up in
detail in the principle of ensuring economical efficiency and practicality, he
noted.
He said that the construction of a hospital is the complex of the latest medical
technology and building techniques and what is as important as the
construction is the medical equipment and medical force. And the
strengthening of medical force should be regarded as the main link in the
implementation of the public health policy and the main work that should be
pushed ahead with on a medium- and long-term basis, he said, repeatedly
stressing the importance of the task to improve the specialist qualifications of
the regional public health workers in particular and train medical workers in a
systematic, scientific and future-oriented way. Then he clarified the orientation
and ways to this end.
Saying that the pharmaceutical industry of the country should be radically
boosted in order to supply enough medicines to hospitals to be built in all
cities and counties across the country, he stressed the need to thoroughly
examine the state system of supplying medicines and take reinforcement
measures.
He also indicated different issues arising in preparations for operating the
hospital.
Then he visited the construction site of the Kangdong County Leisure
Complex.
He learned in detail about the construction from the commanding officer of the
unit.
He said that it is most important to firmly prepare construction force before
anything else in carrying out the Party's policy on regional development
without an inch of deflection and particularly stressed that all the construction
regiments should have a vital stake in strengthening the ranks of skilled

workers and push ahead with the training of skilled workers under scientific
goals and plans.
Referring to the issues arising in training competent designing and
construction forces, standardizing and legalizing advanced construction
methods and achieving rapid development of the building-materials industry
throughout the country, he set forth important tasks for implementing them.
Expressing militant tribute to the high ideological and spiritual world and
patriotic devotion of the soldier-builders who are struggling with a single mind
for completing the construction of the hospital, leisure complex and regional-
industry factories in Kangdong County on the highest level, he expressed
expectation and belief that they would achieve excellent successes in the
construction projects by upholding the Party's sincerity towards the people
with heroic and resourceful labour.
Encouraged by the field guidance of Kim Jong Un, all the soldier-builders
hardened their firm determination to perfectly build new wealth of prosperity
and model entities of civilization for the local people this significant year,
bearing deep in mind the trust of the Party Central Committee which put
forward them at the outpost of the sacred struggle for regional rejuvenation. –
