The medical sector of the People's Army, which received the special order of the Central Military Commission of the WPK, urgently committed powerful forces to all the pharmacies in Pyongyang City to start supplying medicines according to the round-the-clock service system.

Choe Ryong Hae, Kim Tok Hun and Pak Jong Chon, Members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the WPK, and other senior officials of the Party and the government visited pharmacies and medicines management stations in different districts to learn in detail about the demand for medicines and their supply.

The public health sector has established data base by grasping the details of the clinical experiences, secret methods, effects and side effects of medicines, days of convalescence and treatment methods and is making correct tactics for treatment on its basis. It is also making and issuing a standardized manual for treatment which described in detail the selection and use of medicines according to the diseases of the patients, and proposals for nursing them.
