For Example:
Case study Amazon
A large German electrical company wanted to build a power plant with a long power line in the middle of the Amazon. It turned out that the nearest hospital was 70 km away and the emergency service only went as far as the river in between the two.
Since fast transport is especially vital for trauma patients and an air rescue service does not exist in this region in Brazil, med con team was commissioned to create a concept so that a patient can adequately be cared for on-site and transported directly.
In the end, local, American Heart certified, emergency paramedics were deployed, supported by telemedicine. Every employee had access to the SOS-call, which also worked in the area of the construction site as well as in the city. A suitable ambulance was kept on site and communication was optimized via satellite. Ultimately a concept was developed that fully covered the employer’s duty of care and showed employees that the construction site was well prepared for serious medical emergencies.

The comprehensive management of medical services on board requires careful planning and organization to ensure the health and safety of all passengers and crew. A key component of this management is telemedical advice, which is available around the clock. This makes it possible to respond quickly to medical and public health issues, no matter where the ship is. In addition to telemedicine, the tasks also include the development and implementation of hygiene concepts to ensure high standards of infection prevention. Furthermore, shore-based medical care is supported by offering assistance with medical appointments and disembarkation. This ensures that the best possible care can be provided in the event of a serious illness or injury. In addition, ongoing advice is provided on the best medical equipment on board to ensure that we are prepared for all eventualities. Another important element is regular first aid training for the crew so that they are able to act quickly and competently in an emergency.
In merchant shipping, routes are usually fixed, time constraints are strict and medical personnel are not on board. This makes medical care a particular challenge for shipping companies. Working offshore means working in a fixed, remote location under special environmental conditions and with clearly defined tasks, where comprehensive medical care is often not available.
On yachts, on the other hand, the routes are flexible and there are usually only a few people on board, which makes the deployment of medical personnel unnecessary in most cases. This is where we come in.
Security on board a ship is also one of our services. In this area, we work closely with our customers to coordinate individual requirements and wishes in order to ensure optimum security solutions.
