Abstract

ABSTRACT: With the rise of great power competition in the Indo-Pacific, Global Health Engagement can facilitate positive foreign relations. Increasing military medical outreach in American Samoa will provide improved health care in the territory, offer relevant medical training in resource-limited environments, and build connections with a community that has many uniformed members.
