One day in December 1945, President Kim Il Sung called an official in the public health sector and told him about what an anti-Japanese revolutionary fighter had experienced several days before.

He was dispatched to a local area and went to see a dentist there as he had a sudden toothache. By the way, the dentist committed a shameful act to pull out a sound tooth, not an aching tooth.

Upon inquiry, he turned out to be a quack dentist.

Informing him of this fact, the President asked him what measure had been taken to prevent such act in the public health sector.

Having heard that specific measures were not taken, the President said that various measures should be taken to remove bogus doctors and false medicines, but it was of more importance to strengthen the legal struggle and to do so, the law of people to exercise control over the illegal acts should be enacted.

Underlining that it was imperative to eliminate all evil laws made by Japanese imperialism and set up the democratic legal order for people in the public health sector, the President gave him a task to prepare the democratic health law and regulations. 

As result, all negative acts by bogus doctors and false medicines were rooted out immediately after liberation under the wise leadership of the President and an important legal guarantee was provided to develop the public health facilities in keeping with the democratic need.
