TRAMP DOCTOR "vs Witch Doctor"

This atypical tale from Dell's Linda Lark: Registered Nurse #5 (1962) may be NSFW...
...due to the stereotypes of Pacific Islanders and "witch doctors".
You'll note in the final panel, there's a body on the ground, indicating Amok ingested some of the poisoned food he had given to Dr McCutchin, and he's either dead or dying.
It's odd that an island within swimming distance of a port still doesn't have even the basics of relatively-modern life, or even radio communication with the "outside world".
Isn't there some sort of regional government for the island group?
But, when the plot calls for it...I guess a lot of logical plot points are disregarded...
