Updates on Pre-Employment Medical Examination (PEME) for Filipino Crew In October 2001, we formulated the comprehensive scheme of Pre-Employment Medical Examination (PEME) for Filipino seafarers and recommended the members to use the scheme in order to reduce their crew illness claims due to the pre-existing condition of the seafarer by way of performing extra tests in addition to the minimum standard.
