Sažetak
Maritime affiliation consider as dangerous occupation. Sailing ships increases the chance of serious injury or loss of health. Medical assistance on board is available by doctor only on large passenger ships (transatlantic and cruise ships) and with the exception of special purpose ships (research, off-shore vessels designed for divers). On the other merchant ships medical job is partially performed by the officer in charge of medical care on board. If the provision of medical care involves more complex procedures or if there is doubt as to provide proper treatment, the vessel may request a radio advice - Radiomedico. The same is available in all parts of the world, direct radio-telephone contact with a doctor from the hospital. In territorial water of the Croatian, the request for medical advice can be sent via coastal radio stations. Geomorphology of the Adriatic Sea provides a quick air intervention and transport of seafarer to the nearest hospital on the mainland. In this paper the authors analyze the system of medical assistance at sea and contribute to improving the same through the reorganization of the existing system. Proposal of a more efficient medical assistance would come to the fore in the summer months when the Croatian Adriatic Sea overcrowded boats for nautical tourism.
