Okryu Children’s Hospital
Okryu Children’s Hospital stands face to face with the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital where the first cry of newborn babies resounds.
During the past decade since the hospital was built, many children have recovered their health.
The hospital has the departments of cardio-vascular surgery, cerebro-neurological surgery, abdominal surgery, resuscitation, respiratory medicine, dermatology, recovery treatment, function-diagnosis and so on.
The hospital equipped with modern facilities is mainly operated by young and skilled medical workers.
The medical workers in this hospital actively adopted advanced diagnostic and therapeutic methods to cure a large number of patients of refractory diseases including patients with congenital heart disease.
The hospital conducted more than ten-thousand times of long-distance consultations and lectures with the telemedicine system and, in this course, it contributed greatly to the resuscitation of many children in the provinces.
Children who are being treated in this hospital often forget that they are in a hospital.
It is because there are statues of different themes and outdoor playgrounds around the hospital building and the inside is decorated with more than 1,720 pieces of animated pictures suiting the taste of children.
The hospital also has classrooms so that children in kindergarten, primary and middle schools can study during their hospitalization.
The medical workers of Okryu Children’s Hospital and the parents of patients say these circumstances and conditions are very effective in treating children’s diseases.
