Medicines, Medical Appliances for Footballers
Pyongyang, December 2 (KCNA) -- One April day in Juche 62 (1973) General Secretary Kim Jong Il summoned a doctor belonging to the April 25 Football Team.

Coming into the leader's office, the doctor saw boxes of medicines piled up there.

After opening some of the boxes, Kim Jong Il explained the usage and efficacy of the medicines to the doctor.

The doctor was amazed to find he had a deep medical knowledge.

Kim Jong Il guided the doctor to another room to show him electrocardiograph, tonometer and other medical appliances. He said they were valuable things even big hospitals lacked and that it would be good to send them to a gymnasium now under reconstruction.

The newly developed medicines and medical appliances were a token of Kim Jong Il's deep concern for the country's sports development.
