There is the Okryu Children's Hospital in Pyongyang, the capital of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
One day in July 2013, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the hospital under construction in spite of foul weather.
Looking round different places of the construction site, he asked in detail if the project was proceeding in a qualitative way as required by the design, official Kim Kwang Yong at the Ministry of Public Health said and continued:
"That day, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said he would take charge of providing the hospital with latest facilities and explained about their installation one by one. Then he asked an official of the designing sector if a heliport had been planned to be built there.
All the officials were very surprised. Kim Jong Un said heliports to be used for carrying emergency cases should be planned to be built at major hospitals like the children's hospital."
In the past, in case there was a serious case that couldn't be cured at regional hospitals, a helicopter carrying competent medical team was sent while leaving an ambulance on standby at the airport to carry the patient to the hospital.
Kim Jong Un, however, took such kind measures to save the precious lives of the children.
Thanks to his love for the younger generations, a heliport was built at the Okryu Children's Hospital.
