Pyongyang,
May 14 (KCNA) -- The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers'
Party of Korea (WPK) convened a consultative meeting at the office building of
the Party Central Committee on May 14 to overhaul the maximum emergency
epidemic prevention system under operation and take additional political and
practical measures.
Kim
Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, guided the
consultative meeting.
Present
there were members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central
Committee, and members and alternate members of the Political Bureau of the
Party Central Committee.
Present
there as observers were officials in the state emergency epidemic prevention
sector and a leading official of the Ministry of Public Health.
The
Political Bureau heard a report of the state emergency epidemic prevention
headquarters on the spread of disease as of May 13.
On
May 13, over 174 440 persons had fever, at least 81 430 were fully recovered
and 21 died in the country.
The
number of fevered persons totalized from late April to May 13 is over 524 440,
among which more than 243 630 were fully recovered and at least 280 810 are
under treatment with 27 dead in the country.
The
report referred to the data on the spread of disease in every region and unit
and to the characteristics of the progress of disease, and notified that in
most cases, the loss of life was caused by mistakes like overmuch taking of
drugs, bereft of scientific medical treatment.
The
Political Bureau discussed political and practical measures to rapidly curb and
control the nationwide spread of disease, so as to firmly take the strategic
initiative.
The
consultative meeting focused on the issue of timely supplying reserve
medicines, which would be urgently released as required by the maximum
emergency epidemic prevention system.
It
confirmed again practical procedures to make sure that the reserve medicines
are timely and exactly conveyed to patients by mobilizing all the state means
and forces for transporting and supplying medicines needed.
It
discussed in depth ways for minimizing the losses in human lives by reasonably
applying scientific curing tactics and methods to different patients including
fevered persons with special constitutional conditions, and for timely coping
with the disease spread while watching more minutely its progress.
The
respected General Secretary said that it can be said the spread of malignant
disease comes to be a great upheaval in our country since the founding of the
DPRK along with the worldwide spread of COVID-19 which gets very serious,
adding that we can surely overcome the crisis if we do not sway in carrying out
the epidemic prevention policy but keep the strong organizing ability and
control based on the single-minded unity of the Party and the people and
intensify the epidemic prevention campaign.
Analyzing
the nature and source of the crisis in a scientific way, he said that the
current situation is not an uncontrollable spread among regions but the spread
within locked areas and relevant units, and underscored the need to cherish the
conviction for overcoming the malignant disease within the shortest span of
time as we get to know from the smooth progress of most courses of disease.
Stressing
again the rationality and efficiency of the initiative and decisive
regional-blocking and unitary-isolating steps taken by the Party and
government, he called on the emergency epidemic prevention units at all levels
to more scrupulously organize the operation for and command over the epidemic
prevention work of their regions and units to surely reverse the spread of
disease.
In
order to tide over the present public health crisis quickly, it is important to
improve the scientific epidemic prevention awareness of all the people, he
noted, calling upon the curative and preventive organs and other relevant
organs to scrupulously organize the work for informing a broad section of
masses of knowledge needed for prevention and treatment of epidemics and, at
the same time, to produce diverse multi- media promoting the understating of
the masses and widely disseminate them through mass media.
Noting
that the public health crisis facing us is also attributable to the
incompetence, irresponsibility and least role of the party organizations in the
epidemic prevention work, he said that officials of the Party organizations at
all levels, who know well before anyone else about our Party's public health
and epidemic prevention policies, should go deep among the masses who are
suffering difficulties, share joy and sorrow with them and always become the
competent pioneers and kind explainers to firmly ensure the good chance of
winning the epidemic prevention campaign.
He
also called upon the Party organizations at all levels to turn out resolutely
in the campaign for defending the people with boundless devotion and invariable
loyalty to them to always become the advancing group, shock brigade and
bulletproof wall in the present acute anti- epidemic war.
The
virtues and feelings of helping and taking care of each other which prevails
our society in any difficulties are the key to and guarantee for the great
victory in the epidemic prevention campaign which is more powerful than any
latest medical technologies, he said, calling upon all the Party organizations
to scrupulously conduct the organizational and political work so that our best
communist virtue and beautiful traits, which no one on earth can possess or
imitate, are given fuller display in the present difficult and rigorous
epidemic prevention campaign.
Noting
that it is high time for our Party Central Committee to prove its leading role
once again before the difficulties of history, he said that it is urgent for us
to more deeply realize for what we are needed and for whom we fight at the cost
of our lives and that our Party will bravely discharge its important
responsibility and duty and take full responsibility for the security and
wellbeing of the country and people by displaying boundless loyalty and
devotion, and repeatedly expressed his determination and will to win a great
victory in the epidemic prevention campaign without fail.
Saying
that he was donating reserve medicines prepared by his family to the Party
committee of the office building with his resolution to always share the
destiny with the people and with an earnest prayer that peace and laugh would
settle again in all families across the country at an early date, he suggested
to the Party committee sending the medicines to a family in difficulty.
It
is very important for our epidemic prevention sector to study well the epidemic
prevention policies of advanced countries, their successes in epidemic
prevention and their experience, he said, adding it is good to actively learn
from the advanced and rich anti-epidemic successes and experience already
gained by the Chinese party and people in the struggle against malicious
epidemic, in particular.
The
consultative meeting discussed such issues as taking practical measures to
quickly strengthen the material and technological foundations of the public
health sector and taking legal measures to strongly strike all negative deeds
hindering the emergency epidemic prevention work.
