Mercy Ships et Libéria

La relation continue entre Mercy Ships et le Liberia a eu un impact durable sur les systèmes chirurgicaux et anesthésiques du pays. De 2021 à 2023, le personnel de Mercy Ships travaillant à long terme sur le terrain a collaboré avec le Ministère de la Santé du Liberia et avec des professionnels médicaux nationaux afin d’offrir des formations et du mentorat, de fournir des dons d’équipements importants et d’effectuer des opérations chirurgicales hautement spécialisées dans les hôpitaux partenaires.

Le partenariat de Mercy Ships avec le Liberia existe depuis de nombreuses années. Monrovia a été le premier port d’escale de l’Africa Mercy® lorsque son service a commencé en 2007, et le dernier de l’Anastasis avant que le navire ne soit mis à la retraite. Grâce à ces deux navires, Mercy Ships a effectué quatre services de terrain à Monrovia depuis 2005. Plus de 3 000 personnes ont été opérées

gratuitement lors de la dernière visite en 2008. Nos membres d’équipage bénévoles ont eu l’honneur de marcher aux côtés du peuple libérien qui se relève et se reconstruit après les années de guerre civile qui ont détruit 95% de l’infrastructure médicale du pays.

Want to work with us?

In anticipation of the arrival of Mercy Ships in mid-August 2020, we are looking for a number of dedicated local workers to partner with us. Mercy Ships uses hospital ships to transform lives and serve nations, one at a time, through surgical intervention and medical capacity building. Although the main focus is the hospital, we need many different types of skills to support the hospital. Follow the link to find out more!

Renforcement de nos relations de partenariat avec les pays africains

La Fondation MSC, du groupe MSC, soutient l’action de Mercy Ships depuis 2011, avec un accent particulier sur l’Afrique, notamment par sa participation au Cargo Day organisé chaque année par l’ONG.

Liberia

Mercy Ships espère retourner au Liberia avec l’un de ses navires-hôpitaux dans les années à venir.

Les professionnels bénévoles de Mercy Ships ont eu l’honneur de collaborer avec le Ministère de la Santé du Liberia et des partenaires locaux et internationaux par le passé, en offrant des interventions chirurgicales à bord des navires-hôpitaux et en partageant conseils et ressources pour renforcer les capacités du Liberia.

Entre 2022 et 2023, en partenariat avec le ministère de la Santé, plus de 1000 professionnels de santé ont été formés sur des sujets tels que la réanimation néonatale, les soins primaires en traumatologie, la chirurgie sûre ainsi que d’autres domaines clés. Les bénévoles de Mercy Ships ont contribué au développement du leadership dans quatre hôpitaux et ont encadré des techniciens biomédicaux dans les 15 comtés du pays. Vingt-quatre systèmes d’anesthésie ont été fournis à 15 hôpitaux, accompagnés de formations pour les utilisateurs. Des kits de soins et des équipements de protection individuelle ont également été distribués dans tout le pays, et le personnel de Mercy Ships a effectué plus de 200 opérations chirurgicales en partenariat avec les hôpitaux locaux.
