Put a doctor within reach of every health post.
The problem
A rural health post is hours — sometimes days — from the nearest doctor. Nurses cannot consult a specialist, send a photograph or follow up a referral. Medicines and samples wait for the next boat.
What changes
A solar-powered hotspot at the facility gives staff a reliable connection for consultations, records and referrals, on the same kiosk that already runs at Tabubil Hospital. Where a drone corridor exists, Niubalus Logistics moves medicines and samples between district hospitals and remote posts in hours, not days.
What you get
- A reliable connection at the facility — solar-powered, so it stays on when the grid does not
- Staff Wi-Fi for clinical work — video consultations, records and referrals on a separate network from the public
- Community access if you want it — vouchers, so the connection can help fund itself
- Kept running — support, monitoring and the option of a managed service
- Medicines by air — drone logistics through Niubalus where a corridor exists
Pricing
Each facility is quoted individually. Health authorities and donors usually fund the kit; a community hotspot can then contribute to running costs.
Common questions
Is patient data safe on a public hotspot?
Staff use a separate network from community users, and clinical systems run over their own encrypted connections.
What about the drones?
Niubalus Logistics operates the flights under PNG civil aviation rules. A proposal for medical drone logistics to Bougainville's outer atolls has been submitted through NICTA to the APT EBC-K programme.
Who pays for the connection?
Usually the health authority or a donor buys the kit. The community hotspot can then contribute to running costs.
How quickly can a facility be online?
Kits are tested before they ship, so once one is on site the work is installation, not troubleshooting.
Tabubil Hospital is online
Our first live hotspot is at Tabubil Hospital in Western Province, online since September 2026. As its numbers build we will publish them on the Impact page rather than estimate them.
