The construction of standardized pharmacies is in full swing across the cities and counties of our country. The first of these is the Comprehensive Pharmacy of Moranbong District’s Pharmaceutical Management Office. This two-story pharmacy is divided into several areas, including sales, basic examination, consultation and prescription, pharmaceutical analysis, storage, and manufacturing. The Koryo medicine section is lined with drawers filled with hundreds of valuable medicinal herbs, such as ginseng and perennial mushrooms.
According to pharmacist Jong Un Sun, tailored Koryo medicines are provided in forms such as decoctions, powders, and pills to suit each individual’s symptoms and constitution, which customers greatly appreciate.
Within Moranbong District, war veterans, meritorious soldiers, the elderly, emergency patients, and chronic patients can quickly and accurately receive the medications they need, regardless of time constraints. The pharmacy’s manufacturing, examination, and consultation rooms are equipped to a high standard.
In the manufacturing room, advanced technology is used to prepare prescriptions with an automated herbal decoction machine, serving visitors efficiently. In the examination room, state-of-the-art equipment is used for scientific tests and diagnoses.
Pharmacy Director Ri Un Gyong stated that visitors can consult with professionals in the consultation room, where their health conditions and symptoms are carefully reviewed, and treatment plans are kindly explained. To suit its role as a 24-hour medical service provider, the pharmacy is equipped with robots capable of performing various medical services. The pharmacy also has temperature-monitored storage facilities, ensuring the highest level of readiness to respond swiftly to any emergency public health situation.
Han Su Hyang, a resident of Wolhyang-dong in Moranbong District, praised the pharmacy, saying: “The variety of medications and the high level of service are impressive. Every aspect of the pharmacy is convenient, ensuring even first-time visitors can access the medical services they need. The Comprehensive Pharmacy of Moranbong District is another creation born from our socialist healthcare system that prioritizes the people’s health above all else.”
