| dc.description.abstract |
The Asia-Pacific region contains many islands, perhaps up to 100-000. The provision of public health and health care to small isolated groups poses particular challenges in the 21st century. The health of island populations has improved over the past 3 decades, but maintaining and improving current levels of health is made more difficult by emigration and the difficulty of maintaining communications. | |
