Whilst “recalling his instruction that an oxygen supply station should be built for hospitals to get media oxygen without any inconvenience,” he said the “station is flawless in aspects of architectural beauty, convenience and utility. It is pleasant to see oxygen cyllinders standing in rows at the station, each bearing a name of the hospital to be supplied. The Factory is a small yet big one as it is greatly conducive to the protection of people’s lives and improvement of their health.” He issued instructions about the factory’s work and an instruction that “such modern medical oxygen production bases should be built in different parts of the country on the basis of the achievements made in its construction.”

Jong Un said that “when the factory begins its production to supply quality oxygen treatment for treatment, people will get a great benefit from it. It is needed to make our people feel the advantages of the socialist system through such social benefits as the socialist health care system. There are many things for us to do, but we attach primary attention to the public health service, because it represents the socialist system and is a very important work to give full play to the advantages of our socialist healthcare system, the only system in the world through which the Party and the state take care of the people’s lives and health with responsibility.”
