Miracle to Be Specially Recorded in World History of Health
Pyongyang, December 30 (KCNA) -- This year, the DPRK brought about a miracle to be specially recorded in the world history of health by guiding to victory the emergency anti-epidemic campaign to protect the lives of the people under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).

The DPRK, which set the world's record in the history of anti-epidemic work by preventing the inroads of the global pandemic for two years and three months, put an end to the malignant epidemic crisis in the short period of 90 days under the most difficult conditions this year and thus restored stability in the anti-epidemic work and turned the whole country into a clean, virus-free zone again.

The victory in the combat against the malignant virus crisis is a precious fruition of the prominent leadership and self-sacrificing love and devotion of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who steered the unprecedented great anti-epidemic war on the forefront for protecting the people.

He convened the 8th Meeting of the Political Bureau of the 8th Central Committee of the WPK in May when the virus made inroads into the country, and set forth timely and concrete anti-epidemic guidelines for converting the state anti-epidemic system into the maximum emergency anti-epidemic system and eliminating the spread source of the virus in the shortest possible time.

He acquainted himself with the supply of medicines and issued, at a consultative meeting of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central Committee, a special order of the Central Military Commission of the WPK to immediately stabilize the supply of medicines in Pyongyang City by mobilizing the powerful forces of medics of the Korean People's Army.

In the period, he examined at least 1 770 pieces of documents and convened more than 10 important Party meetings in succession.

He visited the State Emergency Epidemic Prevention Headquarters and indicated the precious guidelines and the clear ways for anti-epidemic work and gave confidence and courage to the officials who were embarrassed by the great national difficulties.

He visited pharmacies in Pyongyang City, where many families of fever cases kept coming and going, to learn in detail about their operation and give instructions on the supply and sale of medicines.

Personally donating reserve medicines prepared by his family to the Party Committee of the Headquarters of the WPK Central Committee, he suggested sending the medicines to a family in difficulty. When an acute enteric epidemic broke out in Haeju City of South Hwanghae Province, he sent medicines prepared by his family to the Haeju City, South Hwanghae Province, Committee of the WPK.

Greatly encouraged by his warm love and devoted efforts, the people of the DPRK dynamically advanced toward the great victory in the anti-epidemic war, overcoming hardships and trials.

This great victory, to be specially recorded in the world history of health, clearly showed once again that the DPRK will surely emerge victorious by dint of the correct political leadership and single-hearted unity no matter what challenges it may face as it has the most prominent leader and its people are closely rallied around the great Party.
