The telemedicine system has further improved in the public health sector of the DPRK.

Hundreds of IT machines of over a dozen kinds were added to all the provincial general hospitals in the country to better the system for operation through videoconferencing.

A project was also been undertaken to ensure the normal operation of the telemedicine system so that central-level hospitals would be able to give assistance to medical treatment at all the regional hospitals.

Measures were taken to improve the rapid consultation and diagnosis, and promptness of diagnoses and accuracy were ensured through close cooperation based on IT means.

Tens of thousands of telemedicine consultations, thousands of online technical lectures and others took place through the telemedicine system this year.
