Mercy Ships e.V.

“Ships bringing healing” is the motto under which hospital ships from this international development organisation have been providing medical aid since 1978 to some of the poorest countries in the world. Since 2020 we have been partnering with Mercy Ships e.V. in Germany and making financial contributions to orthopaedic and surgical operations, mainly for children.

However the work of Mercy Ships does not stop at the ship’s railing. The organisation achieves sustainability in its mission by training local medical personnel, and with medical follow-up care for patients on land.

In 2022 we were able to gain a first-hand impression of the largest civilian hospital ship in the world, the new “Global Mercy”, at her naming ceremony in Rotterdam, before she embarked on her first mission to Africa. The viewing tour on board and presentations by the Mercy Ships founder and one of its surgeons showed in an inspiring way the passion of all concerned, as they follow their aim of changing lives and bringing healing.

The expansion of our cooperation is our shared objective for the years to come. We are looking forward to it!
