Second Engineer for Mercy Ships Hospital Ship in Madagascar

About Mercy Ships

Mercy Ships provides free, high-quality medical care via the world’s two largest civilian hospital ships, helping to build healthcare capacity and sustainable development in low-income countries

Five billion people cannot access or afford safe surgery. Children, adolescents and adults suffer and die every day from treatable conditions. Mercy Ships is a non-profit aid organization that sails to countries where there is a huge shortage of doctors, with two fully equipped modern hospital ships. As much effort as we put into the transformation of individual patients, we put into building the country’s own healthcare capacity. Through long-term partnerships, medical training and the refurbishment of hospitals and clinics, we are creating the conditions for sustainable development in Africa.
