Admin’s note: a propaganda article of south-Korean sites about DPRK healthcare

I usually don’t like debunking anti-DPRK lies because they are mostly founded on insanity, racism, jokes, etc. and that debunking them means taking them seriously (and I don’t read the South Korean and Japanese gossips). I did it for Squid Games But here I must talk about North 38.

I read a lot of North 38 articles. It is a South-Korean site that is probably the most objective one on DPRK, but still limited by the anti-communist laws

An interesting article was released about healthcare, to prove the improvement of health facilities since the start of 20x10 policy.

But complete absurdities are being spread. Outside of defectors being the only sources of informations about DPRK economy, Covid being overstated, etc. This part is fascinating to show how propaganda is built.

Prior to the formal declaration of the 2025 Health Revolution, significant rhetorical and administrative shifts were already underway in North Korean health policy. Most notably, the phrase ” Universal Free Healthcare System”—long a hallmark of the regime’s socialist identity and propaganda—has effectively vanished from state media.

(…)

Furthermore, the state-run “Standard Pharmacies,” which began installation under Kim’s orders in May 2022, were established in all cities and counties by 2024. Notably, these state-operated entities sell medicine for profit rather than distributing it for free.

In this context, Kim Jong Un’s policy speech at the 14th Supreme People’s Assembly 10th Session in 2024 is telling. He instructed officials to ensure that the “health security system based on a health insurance fund, which is being expanded nationwide, is implemented without deviation.” This is noteworthy as it suggests the possibility of a new financing source emerging to replace the existing Universal Free Healthcare System.

This is rather simple : during the 2010s, against the black market that was strengthening, Respected comrade Kim Jong Un reconstructed the state distribution of goods and social services that provides for free education, job, housing, healthcare, holidays, cultural facilities and many other rationed goods. May I remind you that DPRK has no taxes.

But the question that DPRK had to resolve was : how to prevent the people who enriched themselves through black market/paying goods at the black market to accumulate wealth when socialist distribution has the basic function of selling way more cheaper than the black market?

Ko Jong Bom, on the fulfillment of the state budget for 2023 at the 10th Session of 14th SPA, had an answer:

Last year, warship fund, childcare fund, helping one another fund, socialist patriotic fund and other fund campaigns were launched in the whole society amid the fierce flames of the socialist patriotic movement and revolutionary mass movement, thus contributing to the prosperity and development of the country.

Basically, the profiteers and people who no more rely on Arduous March are giving voluntary donations in order to improve social services. So let’s be clear : healthcare remains free, as it is a constitutional principle in DPRK, there is no tax, nothing to pay outside of voluntary donations rich people can choose to make.
