Abstract:
The delivery of health care to children living on isolated island communities presents unique challenges to health professionals. An evolved method of providing longitudinal services to infants and children residing on islands of the Marshall Island chain--a central Pacific portion of the Micronesian archipelago--is presented. The difficulties associated with provision of comprehensive health care in a vast ocean area are discussed.
