Abstract

Information on the health status of the population of a small Greek island was collected. The information consisted of personal data, clinical history, physical examination, blood pressure evaluation, electrocardiography, and ultrasound scans of neck, breast and abdomen. Ninety-six per cent of the entire island population (280 inhabitants) participated in the study. Two per cent were at risk of serious complications of pathological disease and were immediately referred to a regional hospital for adequate care while 25% had minor pathological problems. Our on small islands should be trained in the use of technology as a means of communication with ma inland hospitals.
