What IMHA is all about Download IMHA’s folder here !
IMHA is the sole international association concerned
exclusively with Maritime Health.
We are an association of
professionals from a wide range of disciplines who are committed to improving
the health of seafarers by developing better approaches to health protection, health
promotion and health treatment.
IMHA members undertake research to investigate the
importance of different risks and the effectiveness of the interventions used
to prevent or treat seafarer health problems.
Research results are used to
improve maritime health practice.
● Our members come from all continents and are
concerned with ethics and equity, as well as with science, in securing better
standards of maritime health.
● We are
developing a network of maritime health ambassadors to be the focus for local
initiatives.
● At the
same time we also work closely with national maritime authorities, trade unions, employers and international
organisations.
● We
organise a range of workshops, training events and symposia as well as
producing a regular newsletter.
To help improve maritime health, join IMHA !
