Medical workers of the central-level hospitals are positively conducting mobile medical treatment and education team activities at new city and county hospitals built through the public health revolution in the new era.

The teams formed with competent medical workers of Pyongyang General Hospital, Kim Man Yu Hospital, the Pyongyang University of Medical Sciences Hospital, Okryu Children's Hospital and other central-level hospitals direct efforts to helping the medical workers of Kangdong and Ryonggang county hospitals and Kusong City Hospital improve their qualifications in keeping with the excellent conditions and environment of their hospitals.

The members of the team active at Kangdong County Hospital have given technical lectures, short courses and practical training on a regular basis to improve the quality of its emergency medical service and raise the level of operating medical equipment of doctors of its special departments. Meanwhile, they have taught the local medical workers the first-aid measures and treatment methods for emergency diseases of high incidence in clinical practice.

After giving ophthalmic and obstetrical and gynecological departments education in technical issues arising in properly administering treatment by using advanced medical equipment, they have helped medical workers in the field of functional diagnosis master the operation methods of modern medical equipment and get qualified to apply the methods skilfully in clinical practice.

Those of the team at Kusong City Hospital have focused on making its medical workers excellent doctors possessed of more than one special technique along with high clinical qualifications for quickly adopting advanced treatment methods.

They organized consultative meetings and seminars to disseminate the diagnostic and treatment methods requiring high medical techniques in the relevant clinical fields and transferred special techniques and treatment experience so that the medical workers of the hospital could provide medical services by themselves.

As the local medical workers get more enthusiastic day by day to provide the locals with advanced medical services in cooperation with the members of the teams, diagnostic and therapeutic methods that are in keeping with the development trend of modern medicine have been introduced into clinical practice.

As a result, the number of patients referred to higher hospitals has been greatly reduced, the items of medical services increased and lots of achievements made in treatment.
