UNIMED - Universal Marine Medical

In the maritime world, maintaining the health and safety of crew members, passengers, and personnel is essential. This is why we're joining the global call for #InfectionPrevention awareness during International Infection Prevention Week (13-19 October 2024) by APIC. In the close-knit environments of ships, infection risks can spread quickly without proper measures. Our industry must prioritize education and best practices in infection prevention to safeguard lives at sea. ????? Proper hand hygiene, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and ensuring a clean, sanitised environment; small actions make a big difference. ???Vaccination Saves Lives: Vaccines are a key tool in preventing the spread of infectious diseases, ensuring crew and passengers stay protected during their voyages. ????Surfaces Matter: Viruses and bacteria can live on surfaces for hours to days. Regular disinfection can prevent the spread of harmful pathogens—keeping surfaces clean is crucial for ships with high-touch areas. As a company committed to providing medical and pharmaceutical solutions, we support our clients in implementing these critical measures for safer, healthier voyages.

Mental Health Day, observed on October 10th, is a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness about mental health issues and advocating for better mental health care for everyone. It’s a reminder that mental health is as important as physical health, affecting all aspects of our lives, including work, relationships, and overall well-being. In the maritime industry, where isolation, long shifts, and demanding conditions can take a toll on mental health, this day holds special significance. It encourages us to break the stigma surrounding mental health, promote open conversations, and ensure that seafarers and maritime professionals have access to the support they need to stay healthy, both mentally and physically. ??Myth: mental health issues are uncommon among seafarers ??Fact: Mental health concerns are prevalent in the maritime field, with some studies indicating that around 25% of seafarers experience depression or anxiety. ??Myth: Mental health has no impact on job performance ??Fact: Poor mental health can impair focus, decision-making, and emergency response abilities, directly influencing job performance and safety. ??Myth: Seeking mental health help can ruin a career ??Fact: An increasing number of maritime organizations are emphasizing mental health, and seeking assistance is regarded as a proactive measure for ensuring long-term well-being and career advancement, rather than a detrimental choice. ??Myth: Seafarers lack access to mental health resources ??Fact: With Telemed+ by UNIMED - Universal Marine Medical, our seafarers now benefit from 24/7 medical support at sea, which includes counseling, therapy, and wellness programs. Contact us today to learn more. Let’s remember that mental health affects us all, whether on land or at sea. In the maritime industry, it’s crucial to support those who face unique challenges in maintaining their mental well-being. By creating an environment where mental health is prioritized, we not only care for our crew but also strengthen the entire industry. Mental health matters! ??
