Welcome to Mercy Ships New Zealand
Mercy Ships exists to address the critical shortage of health care services in the developing world.
Mercy Ships operates a 16,000 ton hospital ship which provides free medical surgeries for the poorest nationals of the earth. Manned by volunteer doctors, dentists, nurses and other health care and maritime professionals, the Africa Mercy performs life-saving surgery for thousands of patients each year.
The Africa Mercy is operating in Lome, Togo from January to June 2012, then in Conakry, Guinea from August 2012 to June 2013.

More than 7000 FREE surgeries are performed each year on the Africa Mercy. This is made possible by the goodwill of the VOLUNTEER medical and support staff who pay their way to the ship and the generous contributions of supporters in the developed world. Join us as we bring HOPE and HEALING to the world's forgotten poor. Enjoy your visit! |
