You always said “One day…”
Make that day today.

Together, we can make a difference.

For the last 30 years, Mercy Ships has brought safe, free surgical care and training to people in Africa who do not have access to medical care. Mercy Ships hospital ships are filled with doctors, nurses, mariners, day crew, and administrative support staff. By joining the team, you can make a meaningful mark and transform many lives.
