Did you know that 5 billion people worldwide do not have adequate access to essential surgery? Mercy Ships is working to change that.Each year\, Mercy Ships provides over 2\,000 free surgical interventions and medical training in developing countries. We also collaborate with local health systems through training programs and infrastructure development\, empowering nations to strengthen their healthcare capabilities. Since 1990\, our focus has been on Africa\, deploying the world’s largest civilian hospital ships—the Global Mercy and the Africa Mercy—to provide life-changing surgeries and medical services. Founded in 1978\, Mercy Ships is a global humanitarian organization built on Christian values\, committed to increasing access to healthcare where it is needed most. After the conference\, we invite you to continue the conversation over an aperitif. This event is free and open to all\, but registration is required. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn more about how Mercy Ships is making a difference and how you can be part of this mission. 						\n				\n				\n				\n			        \n                \n		+ Google Calendar+ iCal Export        \n                \n		        \n        		\n				\n				\n				\n			Speaker		\n				\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n																										\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n			Hendrik Storm		\n				\n				\n				\n							Director of Mercy Ships Global 						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					\n					\n					\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n			\n        \n                    \n                                Conference            \n        \n        \n            \n                            \n            14th November 2024\, 6:00pm        \n\n        \n            \n                            \n\n            2 hours        \n\n        \n        \n            \n\n	\n\n\n\n\n	 Venue \n	\n		\n		 Lausanne \n\n					\n				\n					\n\nAvenue Pierre-de-Coubertin\n	\n		\n		Lausanne\,\n\n\n\n\n\n\n											+ Google Map									\n			\n		\n		\n								 View Venue Website \n		\n		\n			\n\n        \n\n        \n            All Events\n        \n\n\n        		\n				\n				\n				\n							    Share
