“Our Household Doctors”

The household doctors of Ansan Polyclinic in Phyongchon District are called "our household doctors” by the residents under their charge.

The appellation reflects the love and respect of the residents for the doctors.

The doctors always treat patients with the kindred feeling and awareness that they are responsible for the health of the residents under their charge.

In particular, Han Myong Guk and Ro Ok Ran are respected as they treat patients with new effective methods.

On learning that there were diabetic patients among the residents under his charge, Han Myong Guk tried to find suitable treatment methods.

One day he read a study into the use of molecular hydrogen for diabetes, one of the major obstinate diseases worldwide.

He intensified research into this, and finally developed a new treatment device and started treatment with the device.

After receiving treatment, patients say that they could see that the value of their blood sugar lowers remarkably and lethargy disappears.

He treated a patient with hepatic cirrhosis, who had an esophageal bleeding on a roadside, by timely checking bleeding and brought him back to health in three days.

Ro Ok Ran also has made achievements in treating patients with chronic diseases by applying traditional Koryo therapies.

She refrains from using much medicine in the treatment and instead focuses on treating the causes of the diseases.

Ju Ye Suk, head of the polyclinic, said that she would encourage all the doctors of the polyclinic to conduct medical treatment activities to prove themselves worthy of the appellation “Our Household Doctors”.
