    An analysis of the refugee crisis in the Balkans and the European Union is made. Defined are several groups of migrants: refugees, asylum seekers and economic migrants. Regardless of their status, they may become a direct or indirect challenge both for the health of crews and maritime medicine. The reasons for the deterioration of the migrants` health status are considered and discussed. Main risks are: drowning, dehydration, hypothermia and hyperthermia, burns, malnutrition, increased infectious diseases and violence. They are also a health risks for the marine medical specialists and crews when contact with migrants in the limited space of the vessels. Overcoming these challenges requires special medical training of the rescue teams

    Abstract Introduction: Every disastrous event, by definition, results in infrastructure damage and a large number of casualties that exceeds the community’s ability to respond effectively and quickly to the human and material losses. The ability to respond quickly, adequately, and effectively in emergency situations, by changing the activities performed and to restore the state of functionality in a short time before disaster is defined as hospital disaster resilience. In order for disaster resilience to be granted for effective and adequate disaster response, the medical staff has to be aware of and trained on medical specialists’ activities described in the disaster medical support plan. Aim: To analyse the medical professionals’ awareness of hospital disaster medical support plan and its impact on the disaster resilience. Materials and methods: A 55-question anonymous survey was conducted among 295 hospital professionals in Plovdiv Region between July and September 2019. The respondents were questioned about their awareness of the medical activities described in the hospital disaster medical support plan. Descriptive statistics was used to calculate the relative percentages, along with the Pearson chi-square test and Spearman’s correlation. All descriptive and analytical analyses were performed using SPSS v. 21 for Windows XP. Results: Thoroughly performed analyses of the respondents’ answers presents that the medical specialists in Plovdiv Region are not well informed about the hospital disaster medical support plan’s content. Conclusions: Poor knowledge about the required changes into every medical specialist’s activities in case of a disaster has a negative impact on the hospital resilience

    [EN] The aim of the thesis is to analyze and propose opportunities for optimization of the medical information exchange during disaster situations through the implementation of modern information technologies in DMS. To achieve the stated goal 12 tasks have been formulated: Analysis of information needs in the different phases of DMS; Analysis of the characteristics of the information for the needs of the DMS; Analysis of the possibilities of modern IT to optimize the exchange of information for DMS purposes; Defining the units of DMS information chain, as well as the role of each of these units in the exchange of medical information; their medical information needs as well as their level of awareness of the characteristics of the disaster situation (DS); to determine their readiness for medical response and their ability to work with medical information in emergency situations; to analyze their needs for theoretical and practical training; to analyze the capabilities of modern medical information exchange platforms for disasters, as well as the opportunities to use them for training; to develop a platform for the exchange of medical information for the planning, organization and conduct of the DMS.[BG] Π’ послСднитС дСсСтилСтия сС ΠΎΡ‚Ρ‡ΠΈΡ‚Π° Ρ‚Ρ€Π°ΠΉΠ½Π° тСндСнция Π½Π° ΡƒΠ²Π΅Π»ΠΈΡ‡Π°Π²Π°Π½Π΅ чСстота ΠΈ тСТСстта Π½Π° Π½Π°ΡΡ‚ΡŠΠΏΠ²Π°Ρ‰ΠΈΡ‚Π΅ бСдствСни ситуации.
