Arctic Medicine

Arctic Medicine focuses on healthcare practices tailored to the unique challenges of Arctic regions, particularly for remote communities. It addresses issues like extreme temperatures, limited access to medical facilities, and specific health concerns such as frostbite, hypothermia, and nutritional deficiencies. Arctic Medicine also considers the cultural and social aspects of indigenous populations, promoting practices that respect traditional knowledge. Given these factors, healthcare providers in these areas often need specialized training and adaptability to ensure effective treatment and care for residents facing harsh environmental conditions.
