Maintaining optimal medical conditions for seafarers can be directly effective in preventing risks related to safer navigation at sea. MariHEALTH project; by elevating scope and quality of the health services offered to seafarers, aims to be the leader in forming maritime health domain and to play vital role in the identification of criteria to increase medical status of seafarers on an international scale. Targets of this project, based on the interest and business scopes of relevant associates, have been attentively selected as summed up hereinafter: • The main objective is to design web-based e-learning/training platform for seafarers and maritime doctors that focuses on advanced medical intervention practices on-board ship. Thanks to the distance education program this objective will remedy current knowledge gaps, update existing knowledge and develop practical skills of seafarers to perform better even in the toughest cases requiring medical intervention. In this context, medical training modules for seafarers is developed to improve their first aid skills and knowledge as well as keeping them up to date. • One of the other targets will be, updated basic-level first aid training program will be provided to keep first-aid skills and knowledge of seafarers. This Program will assist seafarers in putting basic life saving techniques into practice and knowing how to tackle with emergency cases • Devising a medical training program in progress to remedy the maritime-related knowledge gap of doctors issuing seafarers’ medical reports and certificate doctors familiar with unique conditions to sea life has also been listed as one of the project goals. In order to fulfill the aforementioned aims and targets, a robust consortium was established including three maritime specific-university, one national public body dealing with maritime health affairs, certifications, medical trainings, etc., one research and development company handling IT works, one international seafarers manning agency and one civil society organization (camber of marine engineers). The profile of the participants were established by considering strong relationship with the scope of MariHEALTH project. The participants are qualified marine lecturers, maritime doctors, research and development software specialist, maritime heath regulatory bodies and seafarers (crew) manning professionals. The project activities are including management, implementation and dissemination of the output. Regular meetings, press releases, managing social media are one of the fundamental activities undertaken in the MariHEALTH project. The expected results of the project are to enhance medical knowledge level of seafarers as much as possible to perform medical intervene easily to the patients on-board ship, to develop e-training courses (web-based e-learning/training platform), to design mobile phone application, to improve medical consciousness of seafarers and maritime doctors, transform theoretical medical knowledge into high- quality practice training and to increase knowledge level of maritime doctors about shipboard working environment as well as marine-specific injuries, diseases and illnesses.
