Pyongyang General Hospital
North Korea
The 1019th tallest building in the world
The Pyongyang General Hospital is a hospital in Pyongyang, North Korea. The hospital is located in front of the Monument to Party Founding. Its groundbreaking took place on 19 March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and its construction proceeded on the basis of a "speed campaign" with an expected completion date of October 2020, before the 75th anniversary celebrations of the Workers' Party of Korea. The hospital did not meet the planned deadline, though by 27 February 2025, the hospital had already been completed and was ready to be inaugurated on the 80th anniversary of the Worker's Party of Korea. In 2025, Kim Jong Un visited the hospital on 27 February and 23 September, and he inaugurated the hospital on 6 October. The Pyongyang General Hospital began receiving patients and opened on 3 November 2025.
