Population
7,976,983 people live in Sierra Leone.
“In 2011, Mercy Ships returned to Sierra Leone for its fifth visit in the last twenty years. We are well aware of the health care challenges faced by the people of Sierra Leone, and our unique onboard hospital facility is of the highest quality and beyond what is available in the countries we serve. During our port visit, our crew performed 3,300 life-changing general surgeries, over 2,600 eye surgeries, more than 34,700 dental treatments and approximately 10,000 medical consultations. In addition, more than 450 local health care professionals were trained in their area of expertise – anesthesiology, orthopedic and reconstructive surgery, midwifery and eye surgery.”

We are very excited to return to lovely Sierra Leone one day!
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 Sierra Leone’s health ministry in the past by offering immediate surgical intervention onboard the Africa Mercy and sharing advice and resources to build Sierra Leone’s own capacity.
All of Mercy Ships services are offered in Sierra Leone at no cost.
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.
I want to work with Mercy Ships. How can I do this?
We will be needing many people to help as translators, extra hands, and partners during this time. There is much more information on this page about this.
