Mercy Ships is committed to continuing our partnership with the Government of Senegal, and we are thankful to have returned to the port of Dakar from February to late November 2022 where 695 patients’ lives were transformed by surgery and 1,145 medical workers were trained before the Africa Mercy went into scheduled maintenance.
In 2023, the Global Mercy will serve the people of both Senegal and the Gambia from the port of Dakar, working together with the Ministry of Health to bring hope and healing to those in need.
