The Wheelhouse - Mercy Ships: quality medical care for the world's poor

Mercy Ships is an organisation which funds state-of-the-art floating hospitals, staffed by maritime and medical volunteers. Over the years, tens of thousands of people have travelled the world aboard Mercy Ship’s vessels, spending up to a year at a time in developing countries and providing the highest quality medical care in places where health services are often only available to the very wealthy.
