20 Years of Moral Obligation

Kim Ae Wol, head of the Yangji Polyclinic in Tonghungsan District, Hamhung, South Hamgyong Province, is a medical worker who tries her all to promote the health of the resident in the area under the charge of the hospital, war veterans and honoured disabled soldiers in particular.

She inquires after the health of the war veterans and honoured disabled soldiers at regular intervals and takes appropriate measures on time.

She and other medical workers at the hospital raise medicinal herbs on a plot, with which they prepare various tonics for the ex-soldiers.

Busy as they are with examination and checkup of and visit to the families under their charge, they visit the war veterans and honoured disabled soldiers on national anniversaries bringing tonics and health foods with them. 

Several days ago they visited Ryom Man Hyon (aged 90), a war veteran living in People’s Neighbourhood Unit No. 75 in Saepyol-dong, Tonghungsan District, Hamhung, with ten tonics of five kinds. 

Ryom said: I owe my good health to the head and other medical workers at the Yangji Polyclinic. It is not easy at all for anyone to devote themselves to others for almost 20 years, not one or two years.

This is because they regard it as a duty and moral obligation of medical workers of a new generation to look after war veterans and honoured disabled soldiers.
