The Bulletin of the Institute of Maritime and Tropical Medicine (IMTM) was published first time in 1948 as a preliminary publication. Since then it has developed and from 1999 it is known as International Maritime Health (IMH). Initially it was published by the Institute of Maritime and Tropical Medicine (IMTM) in Gdynia. From 2009 it was published by the Polish Society of Maritime, Tropical and Travel Medicine (PSMTTM) in cooperation with the International Maritime Health Association (IMHA) and the Norwegian Centre for Maritime Medicine (NCMM), later the Norwegian Centre for Maritime and Diving Medicine (NCMDM) at the Department of Occupational Medicine, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen. After a couple of years of planning and discussions on how to take the journal forward, the International Maritime Health Foundation (IMHF) was established under Polish Law, 21st June 2018. This article discusses the process from the very beginning of the journal, until the establishment of the IMHF as well as the foundation's objectives and way forward.
《海事与热带医学研究所通报》(IMTM)于1948年首次作为初步出版物发行。从那时起它不断发展,自1999年起更名为《国际海事卫生》(IMH)。最初它由格但斯克的海事与热带医学研究所(IMTM)出版。从2009年起,由波兰海事、热带与旅行医学协会(PSMTTM)与国际海事卫生协会(IMHA)以及挪威海事医学中心(NCMM)合作出版,后来由卑尔根哈肯兰大学医院职业医学系的挪威海事与潜水医学中心(NCMDM)出版。经过数年关于如何推动该期刊发展的规划与讨论,2018年6月21日,国际海事卫生基金会(IMHF)依据波兰法律成立。本文讨论了该期刊从创立之初到IMHF成立的过程,以及基金会的目标和未来发展方向。
