Mercy Ships UK Ltd

18 million people die every year from conditions requiring surgery. This is more than the number who die from TB, malaria and HIV/Aids combined! Mercy Ships works to tackle this crisis. We operate the largest charity hospital ship in the world, delivering free, safe medical care to some of the worlds least-developed nations. Our floating hospital is staffed almost entirely by volunteers, who give their expertise for free. Since 1978 we have visited 56 countries, providing services worth over 1.2billion GBP
