This package contains a copy of "International Medical Guide for
Ships" Third Edition and a copy of the "Quantification Addendum"
which contains recommended quantities, indications and dosing for
55 medicines listed in the "International Medical Guide for Ships"
3rd edition.The third edition of the "International Medical Guide
for Ships" shows designated first-aid providers how to diagnose,
treat, and prevent the health problems of seafarers on board
ship.Since its first publication in 1967, the "International
Medical Guide for Ships" has been a standard reference for medical
care on board ships. The second edition, written in 1988, was
translated into more than 30 languages, and has been used in tens
of thousands of ships. This, the third edition, contains fully
updated recommendations aimed to promote and protect the health of
seafarers, and is consistent with the latest revisions of both the
WHO Model List of Essential Medicines and the International Health
Regulations. The International Labor Organization's Maritime Labor
Convention 2006 stipulates that all ships shall carry a medicine
chest, medical equipment and a medical guide. The "International
Medical Guide for Ships" supports a main principal of that
convention; to ensure that seafarers are given health protection
and medical care as comparable as possible to that which is
generally available to workers ashore.By carrying this guide on
board ships, and following its instructions, countries can both
fulfill their obligations under the terms of the Maritime Labor
Convention 2006, and ensure the best possible health outcomes for
their seafaring population.The "Quantification Addendum" contains
recommended quantities, indications and dosing for 55 medicines
listed in the International Medical Guide for Ships 3rd edition.
The quantities are based on three types of ships: -ocean-going
ships with crews of 25-40 and no doctor (Category A); -coastal
ships with crews of up to 25 that travel no more than 24 hours from
a port of call (Category B); and-small boats and private craft with
crews of 15 or less, and usually travelling no more than a few
hours from a port of call (Category C).These quantities have been
updated to reflect the decrease of crew numbers on most ships and
calculated for voyages of one month. This companion volume to the
"International Medical Guide for Ships" provides essential guidance
to all those who involved in the procurement, purchasing, stock
maintenance and use of medicines to promote and protect the health
of seafarers worldwide.
