Welcome to the IMHF!

We are a non-profit scientific foundation with scientific objectives and international activities, registered in Poland the 21st of June 2018. 

Our first priority is the dissemination of scientific knowledge of maritime medicine and adjacent fields, through our scientific Journal “International Maritime Health” – the world’s only indexed scientific journal of maritime medicine in the English language. Visit the journal here. 

We seek partners for cooperation and coordinated efforts to build and spread scientific knowledge in accordance with our statutes, either in separate agreements or as parties joining the foundation as ‘Cooperating Institutions’.
