Recently the Ministry of Public Health and Kim Man Yu Hospital have solved the technological problems arising in introducing the telemedicine service.

It thus makes it possible to exchange examination result and image data by functional diagnosis equipment between Pyongyang and provincial people's hospitals and to accurately diagnose and treat patients in local hospitals without sending them to central hospitals.

And local medical workers can receive a telemedicine education from professors, doctors and competent medical workers of central hospitals without leaving working site.

Now the telemedicine service system is on a normal operation.
