Seamen's Hospital Society

The Seamen's Hospital Society, founded in 1821, is a charitable organization dedicated to providing healthcare and support to seafarers—the men and women working at sea. Recognizing the unique health risks and challenges faced by maritime workers, the society offers medical treatment, advice, and welfare services tailored to their needs. It also promotes health education and works to ensure that sailors receive proper care both onshore and offshore. Its mission is to improve the well-being of seafarers, acknowledging their vital role in global trade and their often hazardous working conditions.
