Modern Medical Appliances Developed in DPRK
Pyongyang, January 25 (KCNA) -- Some kinds of medical appliances have been developed in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Among them are ultrasonic abdominal examiner, electrocardiograph, electromyograph and electroencephalograph.

The appliances help ensure accuracy of diagnosis in a short time.

The electromyograph is used to correctly measure the situation of neuroparalysis.

Hwang Myong Song, chief engineer of the Pyongyang Electronic Medical Apparatuses Factory, told KCNA that the development of the appliances has paved a way to ensure medical checkup on a more scientific basis at local hospitals.
