Integrated occupational health care for seafarers across the continuum of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention

This is also relevant for the further development of integrated occupational health care. Occupational health care is to some extent an integrated curative and preventive health care system. However, the possibility for further integration is relevant, and an analysis of the needs and goals for the seafarers health care system could serve as the basis for policy development. Unfortunally, a special issue of this journal on integrated occupational health care was cancelled, but with this letter we would like to make a contribution to the discussion in this field.
