Radio Medical Service

Whenever there’s an accident or illness aboard a ship or yacht, wherever in the world, a captain can ask a physician of the Radio Medical Service (RMD in Dutch = Radio Medische Dienst) for advice free of charge.

The physicians of this unique Radio Medical Service are available 24 hours a day for emergencies. They have a normal medical practice and work for RMD as well.

The physician knows the maritime world, knows what can go on aboard a ship and is able to diagnose a patient based on symptoms that have been described via radio or satellite while being at a great distance.

RMD-physicians are proficient at bridging language barriers and are selected on this skill.

Depending on the situation, the physician can prescribe medication or advise the victim or patient to disembark and have them taken to the nearest harbour.

The Radio Medical Service gives advice more than 700 times per year.
