Molokai Island: Thus, so-called "Doctor to Patient with Nurse" (D to P with N) online clinics that pair patients with distant physicians with the help of nurses are becoming more and more popular. As part of its "The Vision for a Digital Garden City Nation,” Goto City in Nagasaki Prefecture—which is made up of 10 inhabited and 53 undeveloped islands—launched a mobile medical practice project in January 2023 to give patients in rural locations access to a complete set of D to P with N. Nurses travel in multipurpose vehicles that are outfitted with online medical systems and medical equipment. The car is driven to the patient's prearranged residence. After the patient enters the car, the nurse looks online with the attending physician while checking the patient's vital signs. It is anticipated that this type of medical Mobility as a Service (MaaS) concept will be implemented extensively. This is partly due to geographic dispersion. The pandemic brought to light the value of telemedicine and its capacity to overcome obstacles in the provision of healthcare. For people who might have physical difficulties in receiving care, such as the elderly and disabled, telemedicine can be very helpful for non-emergency medical services, medication refills, and counseling. Additionally, it teaches more medical personnel and improves integrated healthcare services through major healthcare. They believe that to offer complete medical services, hospitals must be properly equipped. This will make it more likely that fewer people will travel to the capital and overseas in search of better medical treatment.According to the chief financial officer, Cyrus Siu, services are available to everyone, even though the organization's goal is to provide sliding fee support to the insufficiently funded, uninsured, and medically challenged. He noted that people who can afford the whole amount are less noticeable, even though medical and dental services cost $10 and $30, respectively. Plans for growth, including Native Hawaiian Health, massage, acupuncture, and chiropractic, as well as a procedure to confirm patient-provided data (such as pay stubs and income tax returns), were stated by Executive Director, Desiree Puhi. He characterizes the facility's objective as "one-stop shopping," or a hub for community and health collaborations. A certified kitchen, cafe, healthy juice bar, community garden, and even rental space for other partners and Molokai groups are all part of their plans. Regulations were greatly loosened in April 2020, and telemedicine—online medical treatment delivered by doctors to patients via ICT devices—is becoming more and more popular in the local medical industry. There is a push to implement online medical treatment in isolated islands and rural regions as a solution to the doctor shortage issue, and this online medical treatment enables patients with limited transportation to receive treatment. But according to a 2021 study of clinics in rural parts of Japan, just 7.8% (40 clinics) provided online medical services. This suggests that the use of online medical services is not very common, maybe as a result of problems with ICT literacy. Accessing high-quality healthcare is a major problem for many island nations, particularly small island developing states (SIDS). Specifically, they face transportation issues, an absence of healthcare providers, and a lack of infrastructure. Compared to its neighbors, the Maldives, a SIDS, has achieved impressive strides in the field of health. This is partly because the social sector and a strong health system receive a large portion of the national budget. Despite these achievements, however, the Maldives still struggles to provide equitable health care to all its citizens, especially the small and depopulated islands.healthcare services. Over the past 50 years, the island's medical services have advanced significantly, from major health care to specialty physician visits, Native Hawaiian health care, and even diagnostic testing. The increase in the number and diversification of health care providers to serve a limited patient population has been one of the main reasons for this growth. To address residents' medical demands, cooperation and communication are now even more crucial. The Molokai Community Health Center is among the most prominent examples. It offers essential services mandated by the Public Health Service Act and the federal government. These services include two primary care doctors, a dentist, a dental hygienist, two behavioral health experts, family support, transportation, insurance, referrals, and appointments outside of the island.11 What are the current strategies?
