Your Health Companion at Sea

That’s why we’re proud to introduce the Mariners Medico Guide, a vital reference tool created specifically for Filipino seafarers and officers navigating health issues onboard.

What is the Mariners Medico Guide?

It is a comprehensive, easy-to-understand reference manual designed to assist seafarers in recognizing symptoms, applying first aid, and making informed decisions during medical emergencies at sea—where professional help may be days away.

What You’ll Find Inside:

• Basic first aid procedures
• Emergency response guides
• Illness and injury checklists
• Medication instructions and usage
• Isolation procedures for infectious diseases
• Psychological and mental health first aid
• Reporting protocols for medical incidents onboard
• Contact details of telemedical assistance services (TMAS)

Who Should Use It?

This guide is intended not only for ship officers, captains, and designated medical officers onboard—but also for every seafarer who may one day need to step up during a medical emergency. Even non-medical personnel can easily follow the instructions.

Why It Matters:

Seafarers are often isolated from immediate medical help. With long voyages, limited medical supplies, and no onboard doctors, early recognition, quick response, and proper documentation can save lives. The Mariners Medico Guide bridges that gap—empowering you with the knowledge you need when you need it most.

Free to Download on Android and iOS:

The Mariners Medico Guide is available for free on both Android and iOS platforms.

Additionally, you can access the guide via desktop or install it as a Progressive Web App (PWA) for offline use: Desktop Access

In Case of Emergency at Sea:
Always coordinate with your ship’s Designated Person Ashore (DPA), TMAS partner, or nearest Radio Medical Center.

Remember: Your safety is your responsibility too. Equip yourself with the right tools.
Stay informed. Stay safe. Stay healthy.
