Mercy Ships Spain - Where We Serve

Some of the poorest nations in the Western Hemisphere are located in the Caribbean. For much of the population, access to quality health care is limited, and the region has suffered repeated destruction from natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes.

Field Service
The Caribbean Mercy finished its winter duty as it served as a base of operations for hurricane relief efforts on the Gulf Coast. The ship visited 138 ports primarily throughout the Caribbean and Central American region, serving as an eye hospital and offering dental, orthopaedic and health care services off ship.

Nations Visited
Mercy Ships conducted its first medical visits in Central America, and has remained committed to the region for more than 25 years. The Mercy Ships fleet, in cooperation with land teams, has conducted field service in the countries of Belize, Brazil, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Trinidad and Vanuatu.

One billion people live in a state of absolute poverty.
