Medical carriage requirements

Издание на английском языке
Regulated Australian vessels must be equipped with a medicine chest that contains the medicines and medical equipment that would allow an appropriately trained person to treat injuries and illnesses on board the vessel until a patient can be transferred to the care of a medical practitioner. The information provided in this document is derived from international medical publications, in particular the International Medical Guide for Ships and its Quantification Addendum. Marine Order 11 requires that each regulated Australian vessel carries a copy of the most recent edition of the International Medical Guide for Ships to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of sick and injured seafarers.
