Fucking UN are a joke.

That's part of what I meant when I said North Korea is good at manipulating their image.

I remember reading a story from a missionary going to North Korea. One of the things they noticed was that their entire trip was extremely rigid. They had to go where their guide told them to go, they had to do it when they were told to do it and there was little to no deviation from already approved areas. And, of course, the outsiders stayed in the nice hotels and had good food and the streets were all clean with all the people unquestioningly happy. But th writer also said that he had a feeling that, had you left that already approved path and seen what was out there and talked to those people, you'd get a much less rosey picture out of things.

So, I get the feeling they did something similar with the health care people. They came in to look around and they were guided to their best hospital, shown their best patients and given a pre-approved route to follow.... and if they had dared to deviate from that path, they would have seen a much uglier side to the North Korean healthcare system (and, of course, they wouldn't have been able to tell anyone since Kim Jung Un would kill them for that deviation).
