Value proposition

With you, our ships become hospitals to help solve the global surgical crisis.

To provide free healthcare, we operate hospital ships in developing nations staffed by talented volunteers from around the world. We are the Canadian anchor of Mercy Ships! For over 40 years, Mercy Ships has offered healing and restoration by offering direct medical services, medical capacity building and strengthening relationships that improve healthcare systems.

Propelled by compassion, lives are transformed by action when Mercy Ships volunteers bring safe and accessible healthcare to Africa. So, get on board and fulfill an extraordinary mission by sharing your knowledge, experience, skills, and drive to bring hope and healing. Join an international volunteer health care community aboard our hospital ships and make your mark today.
