Medically Trained Seafarers

Medically trained seafarers are crew members on ships who have received specialized healthcare training to handle medical issues that arise at sea. They are equipped to provide initial diagnosis, treatment, and emergency care for illnesses or injuries when professional medical help from land is unavailable. Their training often includes first aid, basic life support, and management of common marine medical conditions. This ensures the safety and well-being of the crew during long voyages, enabling prompt response to health incidents until professional medical assistance can be accessed or the vessel reaches port.
