    AbstractThis Perspective reports on the challenges that face a solo doctor in a provincial hospital in the Solomon Islands following the civil disturbances of 1998-2003. The Health Service is seriously constrained by a paucity of funding, supplies and personnel. In spite of that, a rudimentary service can be provided and lives can be saved using simple techniques and basic resources. Further training of nurses, midwives and doctors is required. Emergency medicine, as a generalist discipline, provides a foundation to improve the delivery of care to the acutely ill and injured in these circumstances.
