Korean local hospitals were originally designed
as general hospitals intended to provide most of
the basic medical care needed by local communities.
In recent years, however, they have faced great
difficulties as they lack even the basic equipment
and supplies to provide medical treatment.
At first, EugeneBell assisted only the tuberculosis
departments of local hospitals. When the North Korean
Ministry of Health officially asked for help in
treating other diseases in addition to tuberculosis,
EugeneBell began expanding its work into general
medicine.
EugeneBell began the ‘Comprehensive Local Hospital
Package’ program in 2005 by sending much-needed
diagnostic as well as operating room equipment
and supplies. As with other packages designed
by EugeneBell, these assistance packages are designed
to radically improve local caregivers’ ability
to deliver critical medical services.
EugeneBell’s ‘Comprehensive Local Hospital Packages’
breathe life into long-neglected hospitals, allowing
them to independently improve their level of treatment.
With each package, the overall quality of North
Korea’s basic health and medical systems rise
and improves the public health services available
to entire communities. |
