Lack of access to medical care can result in severe physical deformities.

Sophie’s 5-year-old daughter Brinda suffered from a club foot. The little girl received free surgery onboard our Mercy Ship.

The countries we serve have little or no healthcare.  So, we see very complicated cases onboard our hospital ship. 

Volunteering onboard our hospital ship is an exciting experience. 

The remote regions of Madagascar are connected by bumpy, narrow dirt roads.

Volunteers onboard our hospital ship often find themselves changed in positive ways. 

You can’t provide safe surgery without safe anesthesia. 

Volunteer Surgeon Dr. Jos Claes is a talented nose, throat, and ear surgeon from Belgium. 

The wonderful volunteers onboard our hospital ships donate their time and skills to help people in the poorest countries in Africa. Ash Russell volunteered as a physical therapist. 

The work that Mercy Ships does not only affects patients and their families. It can also affect the entire community… as the Mercy Ships Communications Team saw first-hand.
