In the case of positive findings detected during the course of our comprehensive pre-employment medical examination related to Spleen/Liver/Gall Bladder/Kidney & Genitourinary system, Ultrasonography examination becomes mandatory. In case of any abnormal findings detected while examining cardiopulmonary system, 2D-Echo or stress test are required and we are well equipped to carry out all of these tests.

Hospitalization

When seafarers are received in critical condition we are able to admit the patient for observation, investigation, and treatment, with specific follow up under the care of various specialists. Services are rendered at Saifee Hospital in South Mumbai, Prince Aly Khan Hospital in Central Mumbai and Balabhai Nanavati Hospital in North Mumbai.

In-Patient Hospitalization Facilities

Inpatient hospitalization is one of our important services, our facilities range from minor treatments to complex surgeries. Our experienced team jumps into action when there is any major health issue or any accident and make sure rapid recovery of the patient in a cost effective manner. Post discharge, our team continues to provide advice and care on an outpatient basis with visiting nurses and physicians.

We refer a large volume of patients to the local hospital system where we are entitled to a discount on the hospital and physician billings. This allows us to pass on the benefit earned from economies of scale to the company.

24-Hour Medical Assistance

We provide 24 hours medical advice to the ship with our experienced staff of specialists who can assist with any medical problem. We can also assist in coast guard evacuations at sea in our local area.

In case of an emergency or disaster we have a dedicated emergency hot line number +91 98673 55585. Given the appropriate details of the situation/patient we provide immediate assistance.

For routine cases, an email with the details of the patient and condition is sufficient for us to advise on the course of action and medications to be given.

Global Repatriation Facility

Even after patients are treated and stabilized, there often exists a window of time between when the patients are fit to fly unaccompanied to their native land and when they are released from the local physician's care. At such times medical repatriation often becomes a cost-effective alternative to additional hospitalization, procedures and recuperation. We stand ready to accompany any patients from the host country to their native land.

Continuous Improvement

We ensure our services comply with the ISO 9001: 2008 standards of quality management. We are constantly seeking to improve our own internal and external operations in order to exceed our client's expectations.
