North Korea says it has developed a vaccine that is “very effective” in treating MERS, Ebola and AIDS, state news agency KCNA reported, as well as a range of other diseases that modern medicine has yet to find a cure for.
The drug, known as Kumdang-2, is reportedly able to treat everything from AIDS to tuberculosis and cancer, as well as “harm from the use of computers” and morning sickness, according to the drug’s website.

Developed by North Korea’s Pugang Pharmaceutic Co. and promoted under the tag line “Everyone has the right to be healthy,” the vaccine is made of extracts from ginseng with the injection of rare earth elements, KCNA said.
“The Kumdang-2 injection, a strong immune activator, which is produced in DPRK (North Korea), is very effective in curing diseases caused by malignant viruses such as SARS, Ebola and MERS,” said the report.
The impoverished communist state, known to have a weak health infrastructure, claims to have been testing this cure-all drug since 1989.

North Korea has taken drastic measures in the past to guard against viral diseases, and it has recently intensified screening and vowed “watertight” measures at airports and border crossings to ward off the MERS virus.
Last year it imposed a four-month ban on foreign tourists, purportedly due to concern over the spread of the Ebola virus.
