INTERNATIONAL MARITIME HEALTH 1999-2009

From 1999, a cooperation between IMHA and the IMTM on the publishing of the IMH was established. The Journal was now solely in the English language, with an international editorial board with members from 31 countries.

At the general meeting of IMHA during the sixth ISMH in Manila in 2001, it became clear, however, that there still was mistrust between environments of maritime medicine in Western and Eastern Europe. Following disputes at the GM the cooperation broke down.

For the next years, until 2007, IMH was again published by the IMTM, without the cooperation with IMHA. The lack of their ‘own’ endorsed scientific journal led to a loss of members in IMHA, and they sought possible solutions to this. At the same time, the IMH sought new partners.

In the period 2007-2009, discussions of a tripartite solution were held, between the IMH, IMHA and the NCMM. A tripartite agreement on the publishing of the scientific Journal International Maritime Health was signed during the International Congress of Maritime, Tropical and Travel Medicine in Gdynia, June 2009.

Based on the agreement from 2009, a relation to Via Medica as a professional publisher was established. The journal got a new design, and is now published as an open source journal, although printed in paper for subscribers, or sent as a pdf on the time of publication to pdf-subscribers.
