This year marks the third year of the implementation of the regional development policy set forth by the Workers’ Party of Korea.

According to the policy, modern light industry factories together with advanced healthcare facilities that passed through the experimental stage will be built in 20 cities and counties across the country this year, too.

The construction of modern city and county hospitals was an important project conceived by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un .

In August 2024, he gave field guidance at regional-industry factories under construction, and set forth a new policy of accelerating the implementation of the historic cause of regional development by pushing ahead with the construction of public health facilities, sci-tech learning spaces and grain storage facilities, simultaneously with the on-going construction of regional-industry factories. A few days later, at a consultative meeting for regional development, he said that it is his first and foremost cherished desire to have city and county hospitals built, which will greatly contribute to protecting the lives and safety of the regional people and promoting their health. It would be a good idea to add the construction of modern public health facilities to the Regional Development 20×10 Policy and complete their construction in the year when their inauguration ceremonies are held without fail for the people in different regions however difficult and challenging it may be, and this will be regarded as the first task entrusted to the Party and the government by the Korean revolution and the times, he added.

Consequently, at the 11th Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea held in December 2024, the construction of three essential projects was formally included in the Party’s new regional development policy. The following year, groundbreaking ceremonies for building hospitals took place in Kangdong and Ryonggang counties and Kusong City.

Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the construction sites of Kangdong County Hospital and Kusong City Hospital and gave important instructions on the projects, guiding them meticulously.

In December 2025 he attended the inauguration ceremony of Kusong City Hospital and expressed his firm determination and will to build modern hospitals in 20 cities and counties every year and thus build solid foundations for the country’s public health in the near future.

Thanks to his painstaking efforts, Kangdong County Hospital, Kusong City Hospital and Ryonggang County Hospital were successfully built last year, and similar projects are proceeding apace in 20 cities and counties.
