REF MFA Exit Exam Question Answers Part-1

Medical first aid (MFA) on a ship refers to the initial medical care provided to a sick or injured person onboard a ship or vessel at sea. The aim of first aid is to provide immediate care to stabilize the patient’s condition, prevent further injury, and promote recovery until more specialized medical care is available.

In addition to standard first aid procedures, medical first aid on a ship also involves taking into account the unique environment of being at sea, which can present additional challenges in terms of communication, transportation, and access to medical resources. As a result, medical first aid on a ship requires specialized training and equipment to effectively respond to medical emergencies at sea.(MFA EXIT EXAM)
