Devotion to a Special-Class Honoured Disabled Ex-Soldier

Kim Un Hui works at the Jangsan Polyclinic in Sosong District, Pyongyang Municipality, winning the respect of inhabitants.

She has devotedly looked after a special-class honoured disabled ex-soldier for over ten years while taking care of the inhabitants under her charge with a sense of responsibility.

While living together with her father-in-law, a war veteran, she cherished high respect for ex-army officers and special-class honoured disabled ex-soldiers in particular who devoted their youth to national defence.

She deemed it her duty as a citizen rather than a medical worker and a matter of moral obligation to take care of the health of disabled ex-soldiers. So, she has devoted herself to looking after the above-said special-class disabled ex-soldier.

She often visited him with tonics and nutritious foods good for health recovery. Whenever he fell ill, she stayed all night treating him.

A few years ago when his health went from bad to worse abruptly and his family members lost confidence, she never gave him up.

Based on a detailed plan, she buckled down to treatment. It was not so easy to treat him as she had to look after her outpatients. But she visited the patient several times a day and applied Koryo therapies in combination with Western medicines. She also invented a medical inhaler for his treatment.

Her painstaking efforts bore fruit. Her sincere devotion wins unstinted praise among the inhabitants and implants in them the gratitude for the socialist healthcare system.
