North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has reprimanded officials responsible for delaying the completion of a general hospital in Pyongyang, blaming their "desire for fame" for undermining the ruling party's key project, according to state media Wednesday. Kim made the remarks during his visit to the Pyongyang General Hospital the previous day ahead of its official opening, according to the Korean Central News Agency. In February, the North said it had completed the construction of the hospital, a project aimed at improving public health. North Korea is widely expected to open the hospital near the 80th founding anniversary of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea, set for Oct. 10. Kim called the general hospital a "present" that the WPK gives to the people on the occasion of its founding anniversary, the KCNA added.
