The Cultural Heritage Administration announced on Friday (July 31) that a well-known traditional Korean medical encyclopedia on oriental medicine has gained world heritage status with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
UNESCO decided to add the book, known as "Donguibogam" (pronounced as "Dong-uibogam" in Korean) or the "Principles and Practice of Eastern Medicine," in the UNESCO Memory of the World during its meeting held on July 31 in Barbados, according to the Cultural Heritage Administration.
