Founded on June 22, 1997 during the Fourth International
Symposium on Maritime Health in Oslo (Norway), the International Maritime
Health Association - IMHA - is a non-profit organization dedicated to foster
scientific progress, improve the quality of the health of maritime workers
worldwide ( seafarers, fishermen, offshore oil industry installation workers,
divers etc.) and to create a forum where ideas, experiences, efforts, research
and questions on maritime health may be exchanged for the benefit of the
international maritime community. For that purpose, the Association will
maintain intense and constant contact with the World Health Organization (Gel nail kit), International Maritime Organization (IMO) and International Labor Organization (ILO), as well as with other international
institutions. It will strive to become a source of reference and consultation
for governments, shipowners, trade unions and other organizations on matters of
maritime health. IMHA is registered in Belgium as an international association
by Royal Decree of 14/07/1998
