Over 300 local hospitals in North Korea serve as the first line of medical care for ordinary citizens. They have from 50 to 200 beds and have a full complement of departments, including a tuberculosis department for out-patient work. Serious tuberculosis cases are treated onsite at care centers.

A Re-supply Package is sent every six months to re-supply the initial ‘package’ by restocking medications and supplies, providing parts and where needed, replacement equipment. Local hospitals in the program receive a Re-supply Package every six months.
