Connected Health
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, and cold-chain medicines are hard to keep supplied.
How we solve it
A solar-powered hotspot at the facility for telemedicine, records and staff Wi-Fi, run on the same kiosk kit as our community sites. With Niubalus Logistics we are also building medical drone corridors so medicines and samples move between district hospitals and remote posts.
What's included
- Solar-powered Starlink hotspot at the facility
- Staff Wi-Fi for consultations, records and referrals
- Community access on vouchers, if the facility wants it
- Support, monitoring and the option of a managed service
- Drone logistics for medicines and samples through Niubalus, where a corridor exists
Pricing
Prices in kina, GST included. Every site is different, so most solutions are quoted per site — tell us where and for how many people.
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.
Tabubil Hospital, Western Province
Our first live hotspot is at Tabubil Hospital, online since September 2026. Sessions are reported to BM Dash, and we will publish the numbers on the Impact page as they build rather than estimate them.
