As Germans continue to circulate, COVID death rate rises

On remote Greek islands, inhabitants struggle for easy access to medical care.

In the winter months, when the tourists are long gone, connections between the islands and major urban centers are reduced — in some cases to once per week.

Obtaining much-needed health care becomes difficult for islanders, especially as the outposts struggle, due to their unforgiving isolation, to attract young doctors and nurses.

To combat the problem, the Greek Navy organizes medical missions to the islands three or four times a year.

Military doctors, specializing in various branches of medicine, sail from island to island, treating the handful of inhabitants they meet. In disused clinics and classrooms, nurses and doctors set up their medical equipment to tend to old and young alike.
