The work to build the cultural houses for treatment has been actively being conducted in different parts of the country with the work to rebuild the rest homes and sanatoriums.

Recent years have witnessed growing "sanatorium villages" in areas with rich spa and medicinal spring resources including Kyongsong spa, Kangso mineral water and Sokwangsa mineral water, which are good for treatment and health.

This reflects fully the superiority of the socialist system and the validity of public health policy.

President Kim Il Sung saw to it that the spa resources had been surveyed in an overall way and rest homes and sanatoriums built in different parts of the country.

True to the lofty intention of the President, General Secretary Kim Jong Il let the state take measures to widely develop spa resources and to use them for treatment of patients in every way.

Under the wise leadership of the peerlessly great men, many medicinal springs and spas have been found out and rest homes and sanatoriums wonderfully built across the country so that working people of all strata may enjoy their holidays and receive medical service as they want.

Sanatoriums equipped with latest medical appliances and cultural facilities have made their appearance in the famous spa areas such as Kyongsong, Kangso, Kwangmyong, Sambang and Changsong.

Many people are improving their health there every year, receiving climate treatment, physical treatment and mud treatment with spa as main treatment means.

The rich medicinal water resources, too, are made good use of.

Goods produced in the large-scale mineral water processing factories built in various parts of the country including Kangso are being sold in public service amenities of the country.
