The doctors of Mediport teach at the Belgian State Marine Academy and give extra training courses to merchant navy officers to improve the medical help onboard. 

The doctors visit ships in the port for vaccinations, drug and alcohol tests and examinations. They are also specialised in tropical diseases and travel advice. 

One of our doctors is past president of the ‘International Maritime Health Association’, and Chairman of the editorial Board for the revised edition of the ‘International Medical Guide for Ships, by order of the WHO and ILO. 
Furthermore he coordinates the SHIP program (Seafarers’ Health Information Program) by the ICSW.

With this great expertise and knowledge, these doctors are dedicated to give the classic Radio Medical Advice a new impulse based on web technology.
