Mission Statement
There is a healthcare crisis in Africa. Every year, poverty and inadequate health services leave millions of people vulnerable, sick, and infirmed. As a result, individuals and communities cannot flourish because of hardships caused by barriers to work, caring for their families, or pursuing education. It is our mission to bring accessible healthcare services to people in great need. We do this by offering surgical, eye and dental care and medical capacity-building programs designed to strengthen healthcare systems. Contributing to improved Africa healthcare means more people can participate more fully in social and economic activities. Improving lives and communities (and ultimately the country) is the impact of our work. 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.
