In late autumn of 1974 Korean technicians contracted a fatal disease while working in an African country as members of a DPRK economic and technical delegation.

Reportedly, very few of the cases with that disease had recovered in the country.

The affected Korean technicians were in a coma for several days, hovering on the brink of death.

On receiving a report about this from a relevant unit, Chairman Kim Jong Il said that every one of them should be saved, before ordering relevant officials to try their best.

Then he took the benevolent measures of involving the staff members of the DPRK embassies in the countries neighbouring the African country in the struggle to save them and of sending competent medical workers and necessary medicines to the patients from the homeland.

Finally, the patients recovered.

Being reported that the patients passed the critical state, Kim Jong Il instructed that they should be brought back to the homeland immediately to restore them to full health and took all necessary measures.

Thanks to his affection, they fully recovered their health.
