C4.1.d. Is there a standard ships’ medical guide?

The MLC, 2006 does not provide for a standard medical guide. A country may develop a national medical guide, to fulfil the requirement under Standard A4.1, paragraph 4(a), and the recommendation in Guideline B4.1, paragraph 4 [see A12.]; there is also a need to take account of relevant international recommendations, including the latest edition of the International Medical Guide for Ships.
