Mercy Ships is committed to continuing our partnership with the Government of Senegal and we hope to return as soon as it is safe to do so. We will not be accepting referrals, but if you received a patient card we will be following up with you. We will not be hiring any additional day crew/local workers but will be in contact with those who have worked with us in 2019/20 when our plans to return are clearer.
Mercy Ships would like to thank the people of Senegal for the collaboration so far and your understanding during this difficult time. We continue to pray for your nation and look forward to continued partnership in the future!

Mercy Ships is a global charity, which uses hospital ships to bring hope and healing to nations who are holistically building stronger healthcare systems. This supported the healthcare aspect of the country’s existing “Emerging Senegal” strategy.
The volunteer professionals of Mercy Ships have been honored to partner with Senegal’s health ministry by being able to offer immediate surgical intervention onboard the Africa Mercy, sharing advice and resources to build Senegal’s own capacity, and assisting the Minister of Health where we could in creating a dynamic national surgical plan. All of Mercy Ships services were offered in Senegal at no cost.

The Africa Mercy arrived in the Port of Dakar.
Mercy Ships partnered with the Senegal to provide over 1,400 free surgeries and train over 1,200 local healthcare professionals.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Africa Mercy ceased operations onboard and departed Senegal as soon as it was safe to do so for all patients, crew, and day crew.
The Africa Mercy undergoes annual maintenance and prepares for her return to Senegal.
Mercy Ships plans on returning as soon as is feasible.
