DGMA-approved doctors are medical practitioners authorized by the Director General of Maritime Administration (DGMA) (India) to conduct medical examinations for seafarers according to maritime health standards and regulations.
Seafarers must obtain a medical fitness certificate from a DGMA-approved doctor before joining a ship to ensure they meet international maritime health requirements.
You can find DGMA-approved doctors in cities like New Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad. The official Director General of Maritime Administration (DGMA) website publishes an updated list of approved medical examiners.
Applicants generally need a passport, CDC (Continuous Discharge Certificate) if available, passport-size photographs, government ID proof, and previous medical records.
Usually, a seafarer medical fitness certificate issued by a DGMA-approved doctor is valid for two years, though the validity may be shorter for certain conditions or age groups.
