Toshima Village, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, is a remote area encompassing an isolated group of pelagic islands. Seven of the islands are inhabited. While each island has a remote-area clinic with a full-time nurse, only one island has a full-time doctor. Towards their final days, the residents have to leave their islands for hospital admission in the main land of Kagoshima city. Factors underlie this situation are 1)aging and depopulation 2)lack of medical doctors, 3)lack of social resource, and 4)cadaver processing problems. In this situation, the residents’ basic human rights are at risk. As the only health care professional in the islands are nurses, it is imperative to expand their role.
