The report in DK News revealed that Hyang San Hospital has a special facility to deal with heart-related medical issues.
The secret and restricted hospital has "very best equipment from Germany and Japan."
"The doctors at the hospital are all the best of the best and even though they live in Hyang San, their identification cards state they are residents of Pyongyang's Jung District and are afforded the same treatment as Pyongyang residents," the report said citing a source.
