New Website

New website online: http://www.moph.gov.kp

Website is for Ministray of Public Health of the DPRK. What’s interesting is that it just recently came online but has articles dated back to 2019. Looking into it further but was possibly something that was only internal to North Korea

I haven’t been able to find a copy yet but it’s going on the list of things to watch for

	p{

	  margin-bottom: 0px;
	}
</style>

I had to Google it, but found the following on a Chinese forum
