Our newest ship, the Global Mercy, will soon join our fleet as the world’s first purpose-built civilian hospital ship. Once she joins the Mercy Ships fleet, the Global Mercy
will more than double our surgical and training capacity, and it is
expected that more than 150,000 lives will be changed onboard through
surgery over the lifespan of this new ship.
After construction is completed, this hospital ship will have the
facilities needed to carry out a wide range of surgeries, including
repairing cleft lips and palates, removing cataracts and
life-threatening tumours, correcting debilitating burn contractures, and
more.
With an expected service life of 50 years, the Global Mercy will
continue a legacy of improved healthcare delivery in every nation we
serve. Together we can make a difference in the lives of thousands and
change the surgical landscape of whole countries, not only in the
immediate future but for decades to come!
