The writers also gathered additional materials upon returning to Japan to provide as detailed a report as possible on the current status and analysis of telemedicine in the Pacific. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, various regions around the world has sought a gentler alternative to "deterrence by arms.” The writers of this paper believe one such means is telemedicine. We believe telemedicine services may help offset the emotional stress and sense of inequality experienced by "islanders and civilians living around military bases,” which the financial benefits of the so-called "base-economy” alone has never been able to remedy. There are numerous medical support activities currently operating in the Pacific region, and telecommunications is the most effective tool for connecting and unifying such a vast region. We believe that projects for this region must have a clear focus and objective and be able to demonstrate concrete results in order to win subsidies or aid.
