Описание: You know our why—to bring hope and healing— but do you know our how? Watch this video where Mercy Ships International Chief Medical Officer Dr. Mark Shrime explains the focus of our work and the strategies used to leave a lasting impact in African nations. Not only do we perform free surgeries on board hospital ships, we also focus on long-term sustainable surgical education to increase in-country medical infrastructure.

Mercy Ships uses hospital ships to deliver free, world-class healthcare services, capacity building, and sustainable development to those with little access in sub-Saharan Africa. Founded in 1978 by Don and Deyon Stephens, Mercy Ships has worked in more than 55 developing countries, providing services valued at more than $1.74 billion and treating more than 2.84 million direct beneficiaries. Our ships are crewed by volunteers from over 60 nations, with an average of over 1,200 volunteers each year. Professionals including surgeons, dentists, nurses, healthcare trainers, teachers, cooks, seamen, engineers, and agriculturalists donate their time and skills. With 16 national offices and our Africa Bureau, Mercy Ships seeks to transform individuals and serve nations.
