The Pyongyang Pharmaceutical Factory was established in June 1946 as the first pharmaceutical base in the DPRK.
Boasting a history of nearly 80 years, it has played a leading role in the development of the country’s pharmaceutical industry as it has produced efficacious medicines needed for the promotion of public health and medical treatment.
The factory was renovated in 2023.
All its production lines and environment meet international standards.
Now it has built solid foundations for increasing production by several times as against that in the past and put the production on a highly scientific footing.
The Koryo medicine workshop is making highly efficacious Koryo medicines that suit the constitutional features of the local people with locally-available medicinal herbs.
The modern medicine workshop also churns out highly efficacious officinal medicines.
In close contact with relevant medical research institutes, the research team of the factory has actively introduced new techniques suited to the global trend of the pharmaceutical industry, thus making a great contribution to improving the quality of medicines and boosting production.
Now the factory is pushing ahead with the development of new products.
