The congress bring together experts on the maritime medicine and related fields, trying to share, discuss, and debate all kinds of problems connected with global challenges in maritime health.

This is our duty, and privilege to stipulate for better, rational, economically substantiated proposals. The plenary and thematic sessions will be combined with cultural and socializing events. The congress will take place 7-9.09.2012 on board of ferry cruising between Gdynia and Swedish port, to be agreed.
