TRAMP DOCTOR "vs Witch Doctor"

This atypical tale from Dell's Linda Lark: Registered Nurse #5 (1962) may be NSFW...

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...
