President’s Welcome Message
It is my great pleasure to announce that the international “Public Health Congress on Maritime Transport and Ports 2024: Innovations in infectious diseases control and occupational health”, organised by the EU SHIPSAN scientific association, will take place on 18-19 October 2024 in the historic city of Naples, Italy.
Governments, industry, and the scientific community work diligently to respond to emerging challenges and opportunities for the attainment of public health protection in the maritime transport sector.
The theme of this Congress will provide opportunities to exchange opinions, best practices, current research and innovation activities, as well as results in ports and in all ship types related to infectious disease prevention, mitigation and control; occupational health; maritime healthcare; environmental health and hygiene; and healthy ship design.
It is anticipated that the Congress will offer a venue for the shipping industry, academia, governmental officials, port administrations, marine companies, and related stakeholders to explore recent research findings, new scientific evidence, novel innovations and approaches for planning public health actions in the framework of green maritime operations.
The Congress’ proceeding papers will be published in the Journal “Medicine International”.
Let us all take the opportunity to network, enjoy and learn from each other during the “Public Health Congress on Maritime Transport and Ports 2024: Innovations in infectious diseases control and occupational health”.
We look forward to welcoming you in Naples, Italy in October 2024.
