Anecdotes

Newly-built Clinic

During his inspection to the city of Samjiyon one day in November Juche 110 (2021), the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited Paektusanmilyong-dong whose construction was nearing completion.

Scores of buildings with more than 150 flats and public buildings which retain national identity, modern quality and characteristics of northern alpine region were under construction in the area. 

Going over the master plan of the area, Comrade Kim Jong Un asked officials why a clinic was not included in the plan.

As they planned to build a pharmacy in the area, the officials could not answer him.

An official told him about it. Comrade Kim Jong Un said that it was wrong to build only a pharmacy, not a clinic and that there must be a clinic in dong.

After a while, he said to the officials that it was important to build a nice clinic in dong and ri, and a hospital in large dong and ri, if necessary and instructed that a clinic be built in Paektusanmilyong-dong. 

Later, a clinic was newly built in the area of Paektusanmilyong-dong.
