Mercy Ships is a global charity that provides free primary medical care and community support to the world’s most impoverished, transforming lives one at a time. We mobilize our hospital ships and network of dedicated volunteers to reach communities in desperate need of hope and healing.
Through the deployment of the world’s largest private hospital ship, the Africa Mercy, Mercy Ships works with host nations to help fill the voids in local health care systems, while serving the dire and immediate needs of their population. The Africa Mercy is crewed by 450 volunteers from around the world that deliver medical excellence and developmental programs with integrity and compassion.
Mercy Ships provides a variety of curative surgical interventions, along with training opportunities for local medical professionals. Collaborating with qualified local and international partners, Mercy Ships offers holistic support to developing nations striving to make healthcare accessible for all.
