Abstract
Diagnosis, control and treatment of diseases in
offshore oil and gas (O&G) industry represents an
important
challenge
for
medicine
and
occupational health. More and more the
operations, particularly in the Up stream sector,
are carried out in remote and frontier areas.
Working in O&G industry environment may be
risky for the occurrence of acute medical events,
and local medical structure are often either
difficult to reach or their standards are not at the
level that guaranty the efficiency requested by
the Industry. This is why the training of medical
personnel working in remote locations represents
a crucial point for the best health protection of
workers in these areas. More over, the medical
personnel that work in our environment are
requested to be all-ologist (Medical Officer,
Hygienist, Occupational Health Specialist, General
Practitioner,
Gynaecologist,
Paediatrician,
Traumatologist, Infectious and Tropical Diseases
Specialist, Medical Emergency Specialist, Medical
Educator etc..).Unfortunately, there are no
specific university courses in this area that would
guaranty the adequate qualification. The same
stays for dedicated applications of e-health
courses, this last one becoming more and more
important for guaranteeing high level of medical
assistance in O&G industry.
