The hospital is a modern medical service centre, which is rendering comprehensive medical service to children and conducting scientific researches at a high level.

Children of ordinary working people are treated at the hospital equipped with latest medical facilities.

The center is associated with the noble loving care of the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un who spares nothing for the younger generation.

The General Secretary personally initiated the construction of the children's hospital, chose its site and indicated the orientation and ways for accelerating the construction. One day in October Juche 102 (2013), he visited the construction site of the children's hospital nearing its completion.

Going round various parts of the hospital, he took a measure for further improving the condition of the intensive clinic and indicated a detailed way for putting the operation rooms on a germ-free and dust-free basis.

He also called for decorating the hospital with special pictures in keeping with children's mind and saw to it that Pyongyang University of Fine Arts and other art institutions in Pyongyang Municipality were mobilized in drawing pictures together.

That day he personally named the hospital "Okryu Children's Hospital".

Thanks to his loving care and energetic guidance, the hospital was successfully built on the occasion of the 68th founding anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea.

In March next year, too, he visited the hospital, saying it is for the promotion of children's health, and settled the problems arising in its management and operation at once.

Medical workers of the Okryu Children's Hospital are now devoting themselves to the preventive and curative medical care so that children keenly feel the love of the tender-hearted father.
