Post Repatriation Medical Scheme for Filipino Seafarers

The Post Repatriation Medical Programme (PRM) was introduced in February 2013. North is working with Ship to Shore Medical Assist and Shiphealth Inc., both of which are recommended Post Repatriation Medical facilities in Manila, in order to assist seafarers who have been repatriated to the Philippines as a result of injury or illness.

The aim is to provide efficient, high-quality treatment for filipino seafarers whilst at the same time avoiding excessive costs, in particular by avoiding unnecessary treatment for additional medical conditions for which members were not legally or contractually responsible.

For further details regarding our PRM programmes please contact: Lucy Dixon or Abbie Rudd at PRM@nepia.com
