16.9 million people die annually due to the lack of access to safe surgery. That is equivalent to the entire population of Senegal. Despite COVID-19, Mercy Ships performed 3,138 surgical procedures and 16,067 dental procedures in 2021.
Mercy Ships also provides education, training, and mentoring in dentistry, medical courses, and nutritional agriculture.
Graham-Field CEO, Ken Spett, is in Rotterdam to visit their newest Hospital Ship #GlobalMercy. The Global Mercy sailed across the world for final preparation before she embarks on her mission to provide access to safe surgery. This historic moment will double the Mercy Ships fleet and more than double the impact. Graham-Field supports their mission with surgical equipment and medical products.
Our Donations and Your Donations Make the Ship Sail
All Mercy Ship staff members pay their own way to help support the Mercy Ships organization. Everyone, from the doctors to the ship’s cleaning crew, not only gives their time but supports themselves for the mission of care with a goal of saving lives around the world.
We hope Graham-Field’s partnership with Mercy Ships will help sustain the organization’s mission for many years to come.
