Thanks to an invitation from the government of Sierra Leone, Mercy Ships is honored to return to the Port of Freetown, Sierra Leone in the second half of 2023. This field service will mark the sixth time Mercy Ships has visited Sierra Leone – and the first visit for its newest hospital ship, the Global Mercy™!
“The hospital ship will serve as a platform for training our healthcare professionals to build capacity. Programs will ensure that the positive impact of Mercy Ships will continue long after the ship leaves the shores of Sierra Leone. This partnership will support our vision to ensure a functional national health system delivering efficient, high-quality healthcare services that are accessible, equitable and affordable for all,” said His Excellency, President Julius Maada Bio.
“This long-lasting partnership paves the way for Mercy Ships to continue to engage closely with the government of Sierra Leone and to strengthen our joint commitment to improving access to safe surgical care,” said Dr. Sandra Lako, Country Director for Mercy Ships in Sierra Leone.

We are very excited to return to lovely Sierra Leone in 2023!
Mercy Ships is a global charity that uses hospital ships to bring hope and healing to nations as they build up their own stronger healthcare systems.
The volunteer professionals of Mercy Ships have been honored to partner with Sierra Leone’s Ministry of Health in the past by offering immediate surgical intervention on board the Africa Mercy and sharing training and resources to build Sierra Leone’s own capacity. We look forward to continuing this partnership with the visit of the Global Mercy.
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.
