You are in the professions of general surgeries, orthopedic,
ophthalmic, plastic reconstructive, gynecologic,
maxillo-facial or dental program, than we need you!
It is estimated that almost 3,000 people develop cancer each year in the country, and
over 2,000 die from the disease. They are largely preventable or curable if discovered early. Think about this! Every year, 800 to 1200 children and adolescents get cancer a
nd most die from it because of late detection and lack of access to surgery.

Founded in 1978, Mercy Ships is a global faith-based charity that uses hospital ships and volunteer professionals to deliver free specialized surgical care and medical training to build the local healthcare systems with our host nations, focusing in Africa.
Why a ship?
Because 30% of the world’s population lives near a coast, our floating hospitals are the best way to reach and treat people in need.
