Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- The State Stamp Bureau of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has issued new stamps. One of them marks the anniversary of the introduction of the free medical care system in the country. Depicted in the stamp is a woman health worker holding a child in her arms against the background of the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital. In its upper part are letters "In commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the DPRK Cabinet's decision on enforcing free medical care system." The decision was made public in November Juche 41 (1952) when the Korean War was at its height. Three other stamps deal with "Songun Pulgungi-1", an alternating-current locomotive developed in the DPRK, and trains produced in other countries. |
