Kim Jong Un berates officials over hospital project

North Korea Kim

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has berated construction managers over the building of a hospital, in comments that may indicate the country is struggling to secure necessary supplies amid US-led sanctions and a coronavirus lockdown.

During a visit to the construction site in Pyongyang, Mr Kim lamented that his ambitious project of building a new general hospital was being carried out in a “careless manner” and without a proper budget.
