Starlink connected a remote clinic in Papua New Guinea to a doctor miles away, and it helped save a man whose chest wound had exposed his lung.
No doctor on site.
No evacuation until morning.
At Indagen Health Centre in Kabwum, Morobe, officer-in-charge Cathy Nasim had one lifeline: a telemedicine link.
Dr Simon Ganal guided her step by step, through the tissue layers, until the bleeding stopped.
She kept him stable through the night.
He survived and was picked up by medevac the next day for Angau Memorial Hospital.
The medevac operator's CEO put it simply: "No more climbing trees to make a phone call."
Starlink saves lives.
