Free Additional Services
At Vidya Medika, we go the extra mile to support the health, safety, and readiness of every crew member. In addition to our core and specialized services, we provide the following complimentary health assessments at no extra cost:
1. Doctor Consultation for Abnormal Results
If any irregularities are found during your medical exam, you’ll receive a free consultation with our physician to discuss results, implications, and necessary follow-up actions.
2. 10-Year Cardiovascular Risk Prediction
For crew members aged 30 and over, we provide a free assessment of your 10-year risk of experiencing a first heart attack or stroke—helping you take preventive action early.
3. Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) Assessment
Available for workers exposed to high-vibration hand-held tools (e.g., grinders, drills, jackhammers), such as:
- Marine construction workers
- Offshore personnel
- Mining operators
This helps identify early signs of HAVS before permanent damage occurs.
4. Night Vision Test
Especially recommended for seafarers aged 50 and over who are responsible for navigational lookout duties. Ensures the ability to detect signals, lights, and potential hazards in low-light conditions.
5. Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Test
Also offered to seafarers aged 50+ on navigational duty, this test helps detect early signs of macular degeneration—a leading cause of central vision loss that could compromise safety at sea.
6. Pregnancy Test for Female Crew
We provide free pregnancy screening for female crew members as part of medical fitness evaluations, when appropriate.
