In light of how successful the experience has been in Africa, the DOH is planning to promote a similar project in the South Pacific. Mackay Memorial Hospital, Wan-Fang Hospital, Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital, and Changhua Christian Hospital all plan to join the effort to pursue "medical diplomacy" among the South Pacific island nations that are diplomatic allies of Taiwan.
有鑑於非洲經驗的成功，衛生署目前有意更進一步推動「南島計畫」，包括馬偕、萬芳、高醫、彰基等醫院也將陸續加入，在南太平洋群島的邦交國推展「醫療外交」工作。
