Pacific Medical Technology Symposium
Comprising the proceedings of the PACMEDTek symposium held in Honolulu in August 1998, this volume addresses the progress of medical technologies that are suitable for the Pacific Region, a vast area of responsibility that doesn't always permit conventional medical services. The conference's subtitle, "Transcending Time, Distance, and Structural Barriers," refers to the projects developed in recent years to provide a medical care system that works in spite of the disparate locations of service.
