The need to improve the quality of on-board medical services, both for passengers and crew members, led the medical department to carry out a training process aimed at:
- manage most of the diseases that occur on cruise ships with a view to "emergency medicine and first aid" in which the doctor/s and their teams intervene appropriately in the evaluation and subsequent management of patients referred to on-board hospitals
- use first aid strategies characterized by an initial triage, visit, use of instrumental and blood chemistry examinations, treatment, observation/discharge/landing in an appropriate facility
- adopt uniform behavioral strategies in accordance with the guidelines on the various pathologies and according to the principles of best practice
- be able to manage indipendently/in team the main emergencies with the aim of stabilizing patients until disembarkation in the most appropriate port on the basis of local health resources
- provide regulatory and legislative knowledge necessary for the correct administrative management of cases
