  1. IMHA WORKSHOP TENERIFE 3-11-2012EU MASTER IN MARITIME HEALTH With particular regard to:-research In the footsteps of James Lind Olaf Jensen, Centre for Maritime Health & Society, Institute of Public Health, Southern Danish University, Esbjerg Denmark

  2. WHO 1948Basis teaching • WHO definition of Health • Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The globe cccccccccccccccc Maritime health has mainly been concentrated on the early diagnosis and Treatment – but in order to reach the goals of health, primary prevention is also needed.

  3. WHO 1948 • Definition of Prevention • The definition of prevention drawn up by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 1948 identifies three successive stages covering the means to be set up to prevent pathologies, therapy and, if possible, the social reintegration of patients In maritime health we have mainly concentrated on the early diagnosis and Treatment and no strategy for all stages of health

  4. Secondary prevention International Medical Guide for Ships, Third Edition • Directive 92/29/EEC - medical treatment on board vessels • of 31 March 1992 on the minimum safety and health requirements for improved medical treatment on board vessels • Objective • The objective of this directive is to improve medical assistance at sea since a vessel represents a workplace involving a wide range of risks. • There has never been any • primary prevention directive for health at sea – but overall EU regulation as health for all will be the basis

  5. DO WE NEED A SPECIFIC MARITIME HEALTH MODEL?

  6. Alma Ata Declaration 1978 • The Declaration of Alma-Ata was adopted at the International Conference on Primary Health Care (PHC), Almaty (formerly Alma-Ata), Kazakhstan (formerly Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic), 6-12 September 1978.[ • It was the first international declaration underlining the importance of primary health care. The primary health care approach has since then been accepted by member countries of the World Health Organization (WHO) as the key to achieving the goal of "Health For All". In maritime health We have no specific declaration of health for all seafarers!

  8. 2012-02-02 EU RULES as BACKGROUND FOR PRIMARY PREVENTION TRANING • Health prevention: • The Maastricht Treaty • The Lisbon Treaty • The Luxembourg Declaration • Amsterdam treaty • Enviromental contamination: • The Gotemborg treaty • IMO MARPOL Convention xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  9. DEBATESTRATEGIES FOR HEALTH • Internat. Marit. Health, 2007, 58, 1 – 4 • STRATEGIES TOWARDS HEALTH PROTECTION IN MARITIME WORK ENVIRONMENT INVOLVING THE ROLE OF HEALTH PROMOTION – INVITATION TO JOIN IN DISCUSSION • IRENA LESZCZYNSKA, BOGDAN JAREMIN, MARIA JEEWSKA • The aim is to present problems, limitations and advantages of strategies adopted for health protection at sea, with particular regard to health promotion.

  10. DEBATEIntegrated prevention at sea • Int J Integr Care. 2010 Jan-Mar; 10 • Integrated occupational health care for seafarers across the continuum of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention • Olaf C. Jensen, Eliseo Lucero-Prisno III, Luisa Canals, • As a basis for the integration of curative and primary health care programmes for seafarers, an analysis has been further actualised, as the European Commission recently launched ‘An Integrated Maritime Policy for the European Union’ • However, an adequate policy for the health and safety care at sea is so far missing. • ‘Superconvention’ or ‘Seafarers’ Bill of Rights', 2006 underscores the need for occupational health and safety promotion programmes, but no specific policy has been established

  11. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX There is no similar model developed for seafarers?

  12. Methodsin the EU Maritime Master • RESEARCHBASED: • EPIDEMIOLOGY • PUBLIC HEALTH • EVIDENCE BASED • OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH • HEALTH PROMOTION • HEALTH IMPACT ASSESSMENT • LIFELONG EDUCATION • QUALITY SHIPPING • GLOBAL HEALTH

  13. MODULES • Introduction • Definitions and objectives • Epidemiology and evidence based health research • Early diagnosis and prevention • Health examinations and research needs • Individual/group research work 1: choice and outlines • Work process risk assessment & prevention • The use of ISO standards • Maritime Health Economy • Maritime Health management • Environmental pollution and health risk • Fatigue related health and safety risk assessment • Infectious disease risk and prevention • Non communicable disease risk assessment & prevention • Burn-out and stress risk assessment and prevention • The research work 2 Proposals …

  14. CONCLUSIONS • The EU Directive from 1992 covers only secondary prevention • There is a lack of a maritime primary prevention strategy – “health for all seafarers” • However the EU calls for a strategy with primary prevention in all areas • The proposed new EU master is research based to respond the requested competences
