The future looks bright for rural communities with technology now at the helm of their palm ✋. Starlink, although costly, will help bridge the digital divide and transform lives across remote communities.
The Government, through the NDoH, should now focus more on strengthening the Rural Medicine Residency Program by providing better incentives, accommodation, internet access, professional support, and career pathways for resident doctors serving in rural areas.
With improved connectivity, resident doctors can access telemedicine, online specialist supervision, and digital learning platforms while delivering quality healthcare to remote communities. Investing in rural residency programs is investing in the future of rural healthcare in Papua New Guinea. 🇵🇬
