In this period, various species of medical herbs are planted and gathered throughout the country.

The Koksan County People's Committee in North Hwanghae Province calls upon the county's medical workers to actively turn out in the campaign for gathering medical herbs.

In particular, the committee makes big efforts to raise awareness of responsibility among medical officials.

The Tokhung-ri People's Hospital and Songrim-ri Clinic in the county now stand in the van in the campaign, already having gathered a great deal of herbs, including barrenwort, crataegi fructus and shizandra.

The same is true of other healthcare units in the county.

The Nyongwon County People's Committee in South Phyongan Province is directing big efforts to gathering wild herbs.

Healthcare units in the county have rightly selected the species of medical herbs of the season, while gathering those herbs for the treatment of patients ahead of others.

The committee is also paying deep attention to storing the herbs in safety.
