BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

Why is a medical required?

Working on a cruise ship or travelling to specific parts of the world often necessitates a medical examination. Employers typically require these checks to confirm you are fit medically for work and travel.

Undergoing a health assessment before boarding ensures that the employer's health insurance covers any medical issues arising during your employment. This means that visits to the ship's infirmary won't cost you an out-of-pocket cost.

We prioritise efficiency and professionalism in a relaxed and supportive environment here at the health screening clinic. Our goal is to provide confidential services at competitive prices, with fast turnaround times for pathology results.

What to expect from your medical

After reviewing your medical history, we perform a thorough health assessment. The process includes:

  • Hearing and Vision Testing
  • Physical Examination: Checks on your weight, height, blood pressure, lung function (spirometry), and overall assessment of cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urogenital, and nervous systems.
  • No Internal Examinations
  • Blood and Urine Analysis

The medical duration depends on your cruise line's specific requirements but typically takes 1 to 2 hours.

Preparing for your appointment

  • Medication: If you are on any prescribed medication, please continue as advised by your medical practitioner. Contact our clinic in advance if you have concerns or queries.
  • Fasting: You must fast for 12 hours before your appointment, though drinking water is allowed.

Vaccination Services

We offer a comprehensive range of vaccinations for an additional fee, including:

  • Varicella IgG
  • Yellow Fever
  • Tetanus
  • Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR)
