Leading wellbeing and healthcare provider OneCare Group has announced its plans to collaborate with Nordic Medical Clinic to further strengthen its portfolio of holistic healthcare programmes.

The collaboration will capitalise on the strengths of both companies to further extend OneCare Group’s 360-degree offering of wellbeing and healthcare support services, as well as training programmes. It is hoped in the future both companies will combine their digital platforms utilising advanced technology to predict chronic diseases.

The partnership will complement each other with the enhanced Pre-Employment Medical Examination (PEME) and healthcare programmes offered by Nordic Medical Clinic in The Philippines, along with the medical and mental health expertise offered by OCG, through its subsidiaries Mental Health Support Solutions and Marine Medical Solutions.

OCG’s clients will have the option to utilise Nordic Medical Clinic for the PEMEs of their seafarers, coupled with OCG’s full spectrum of health and wellbeing support offered onboard, including 24/7 access to an experienced medical team, a 24/7 helpline to trained maritime psychologists and nutrition programmes.

Marinos Kokkinis, Managing Director at OCG said: “We are delighted to be collaborating with Nordic Medical Clinic to ensure we are providing seafarers with 360-degree health and wellbeing support. Through this partnership we look forward to providing our clients and their crews with enhanced PEMEs and healthcare programmes, which will ensure crews are at full health before embarking on the vessel.”

Nordic Medical Clinic will also have the option to extend the medical and mental health expertise of OneCare to its client base. Considering OCG’s 24/7 mental health helpline supports over 50 languages, this will be of particular benefit to those who require regional and/or language support.

Dr Christian ‘Didoy’ Lubaton, Medical Director at Nordic Medical Clinic added: “By collaborating with OneCare, we look forward to providing our clients with full access to wellbeing and mental health serves and medical solutions provided by specialised teams at OneCare Group.  We are fully aligned with OneCare’s vision to revolutionise seafarers’ health and wellbeing and ensure their health is not sacrificed by working out at sea.”

Looking to the future, both organisations envision the integration of their digital ecosystems, enhancing iterability of data with health analytics and health risk assessments with capabilities to predict chronic diseases and promotion of early diagnosis. Following a preventative approach, the medical teams of OneCare and Nordic Medical Clinic will be able to see the results of each crew member and will be able to create health programmes for the seafarers and support them while onboard.
