Глава ВОЗ восхищается системой здравоохранения Северной Кореи:
North Korea's health system would be the envy of many developing countries because of the abundance of medical staff that it has available, the head of the World Health Organization said on Friday.
/.../
North Korea -- which does not allow its citizens to leave the country -- has no shortage of doctors and nurses, in contrast to other developing countries where skilled healthcare workers often emigrate, she said.
/.../
Chan spent most of her brief visit in Pyongyang, and she said that from what she had seen there most people had the same height and weight as Asians in other countries, while there were no signs of the obesity emerging in some parts of Asia.
Нет, понимаете ли, признаков ожирения. И полно докторов. Просто-таки пример для подражания.

Вот за такие выводы его бы ссаными тряпками отхлестать.

Здесь он уже лжет напрямую, потому что северные корейцы стали существенно ниже южных.

Оказалось да, именно это она и говорила, а когда офигевшие журналисты стали задавать неудобные вопросы - конференция быстро закончилась ;-)

Question from Shabtai Gold at DPA:
Shabtai: Can I clarify something earlier, you said the height and weight in DPRK is similar to that of other Asian countries, did I hear you right?
Dr Chan: I said what I saw in Pangung might not be representative for the entire country, but that is what I saw in the capital. Of course, one thing I recognized is that walking is quite well observed in that country, and I suggest that is why I didn't see many obese people. And if you look at me I am also an Asian, I am pretty short but Asian standards, so when I compare to most of the people I saw on the street, I can only make a very broad comparison. But mind you, as I said, now in Asian countries, because of affluence and intake of food we are seeing obesity which I don't see in DPRK.
[Это, очевидно, снова вопрос от журналиста - видимо, того же самого, просто в транскрипте это по ошибке не указано - Б.] The study from South Korea a few years ago said that North Korean males were 5.9 centimetres shorter than their Southern contemporaries, and for women there was also a similar gap. And there are obviously nutritional problems in DPRK, so is the obesity and size issue connected to a serious nutrition problem in the country and a serious lack of good food for the people.
Dr Chan: Of course there is no denying that, as I said, I have not looked at the study you refer to but the government does accept that they have gone through some very difficult years with flooding and drought and natural disaster, so malnutrition is a problem but things have improved in recent years.

С другой стороны, она, конечно, по чисто протокольным соображениям не может себе позволить после визита в страну говорить что-то обидное для страны. Ведь для нее в данном случае приоритетом является поддержание отношений с правительством Северной Кореи. Сказать горькую правду легко, но после этого и работать в стране будет трудно или даже невозможно.

Ведь даже с точки зрения отдела пропаганды СК это очевидный прокол. Это же живая пресс-конференция, и ляпы про толстых-тонких сами провоцируют журналистов на задавание неприятных вопросов с разъяснениями и справками. Не скажи она этой глупости - все прошло бы намного глаже.
