Monrovia a été le tout premier port d’escale de l’Africa Mercy lors de son entrée en service en 2007, et le dernier pour l’Anastasis avant sa mise à la retraite. Entre les deux navires, Mercy Ships a mené quatre services de terrain à Monrovia depuis 2005. Plus de 3’000 personnes ont bénéficié d’opérations chirurgicales gratuites lors de notre dernière visite en 2008. Les membres d’équipage bénévoles ont eu l’honneur de marcher aux côtés du peuple libérien qui se remet et se reconstruit après des années de guerre civile qui ont détruit 95 % de son infrastructure médicale.

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!
The current desire and plan for Mercy Ships is for one of our hospital ships to return to Liberia in the coming years.
Mercy Ships is a global charity, which uses hospital ships to bring hope and healing to nations who are holistically building stronger healthcare systems.
The volunteer professionals of Mercy Ships have been honored to partner with Liberia’s Ministry of Health and local and international partners in the past by offering immediate surgical intervention onboard the Mercy Ships and sharing advice and resources to build Liberia’s own capacity and we look forward to doing so again.
Detailed plans on the surgeries, dental, and medical capacity building training that will be offered in Liberia will be created based on our assessments and with input from the team on the ground currently.
More details will be added on this site when available.

In collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Social Action, Mercy Ships will raise awareness in district health posts, health centers and regional hospitals.
Potential patients should be directed to the regional Hope Centers for registration during the registration week in their region.
People who are recognised as potential patients can be registered in one of the registration clinics or through our online form.
Mercy Ships their Patient Selection Team will visit regional hope centers to assess the registered patients.
Selected patients are invited to come to Monrovia for a secondary examination by a Mercy Ships surgeon.
Once the Mercy Ships surgeon has seen the patient, he or she will be scheduled for surgery. Once the surgery and follow-up care is completed, the patient will be able to return to their home.
When is Mercy Ships coming to Liberia?
The Africa Mercy will be arriving in the middle of August 2020 and will stay for a 10 month field service.
How do I register a patient?
Registration will begin several months before the arrival of the ship and will be communicated locally and on this website.
