The venue of the ceremony was pervaded with the enthusiasm of builders for remaining loyal to the intention of the Party Central Committee to give fuller play to the advantages of the Korean-style socialism and ensure the most highly civilized and happiest life for the people by attaining radical development in the public health work.
At the moment when Supreme Leader of the Party, state and armed forces Kim Jong Un arrived at the venue of the ground-breaking ceremony, all the builders raised stormy cheers of hurrah in honor of him who has made tireless efforts with ardent loving care for the people to open a broad avenue of fresh advance of the Korean-style socialism.

He said that our Party discussed and decided on the task for the construction of a modern general hospital for the promotion of the people's health in Pyongyang at the 5th Plenary Meeting of the 7th Central Committee of the WPK and has made preparations in every aspect to complete the construction in the shortest time after setting it as a top priority project for this year greeting the 75th founding anniversary of the WPK.
Emphasizing the importance of building the hospital, he said that it is most greatly delightful and courageous for the Party to see the people and the rising generations enjoy advanced medical service to the full and lead a highly civilized life in good health under the care of the socialist public health system.
Our Party set it as a political matter of maintaining and glorifying the image of the Korean-style socialism and as a crucial task to which top-priority state efforts should be directed under whatever conditions and environments to prop up the field of public health, he said.
He continued that it is the intention of the Party to make the spirit of making selfless and devoted efforts for the people run through the today's offensive for making a breakthrough head-on in the process of the construction and to make the spirit of devotedly implementing the Party's polices and the construction speed, which would be created during the construction, pervade all fields of the socialist construction. He specified detailed tasks and ways for finishing the construction by the 75th founding anniversary of the Party.
He ardently called for lavishing sweat and enthusiasm on today's honorable and worthwhile struggle for our dear people to successfully build the hospital for the people to be envied by the world.
When Kim Jong Un finished his speech, the cheers of hurrah again swept the venue in praise of the Supreme Leader who is giving continuity to the sacred history of the people-first principle associated with the noble lives of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il in the new century of Juche.
He broke ground first to mark the ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of the Pyongyang General Hospital and personally pressed the button of the blasting machine.
The moment, the exciting sound of explosion resounded, declaring the start of the construction.
