Our hospital ships provide free medical care in low-income countries

Mercy Ships operates two vessels; transportable platforms for our volunteer crew to provide free essential surgery.

'Global Mercy' joining 'Africa Mercy' enables Mercy Ships to place even more emphasis on training and mentoring local healthcare workers, and assisting Africa’s healthcare systems to strengthen for the future.

There has never been a greater need to make safe, affordable, and timely surgery available. 5 out of 7 people globally don’t have access to the medical care they need.
