Globally, 5 billion people lack access to effective and affordable surgery. Children, adolescents and adults suffer and die every day from curable causes, and one in eight children will die before their fifth birthday.
With the support of people like you, we deploy hospital ships to combat this overwhelming statistic. Since more than 50% of the world’s population lives near a coastline, our ships are the best way to reach them with state-of-the-art medical care.

Mercy Ships Spain aims to raise awareness, recruit volunteers, collect material and support from companies and businesses and raise the necessary funds to continue this worthwhile mission. Currently, Mercy Ships Spain has a team of volunteer staff, with its national office in Madrid and a local office in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Mercy Ships Spain is dedicated to fundraising for the operation of the ships and the land-based projects. One of the major ways Mercy Ships reduces its costs is by seeking donations of goods and services from companies, which saves the organization thousands of euros annually.
One of the objectives of Mercy Ships Spain is to raise awareness among the general public, as well as political and social authorities, about the great need of many people in developing countries and the ways in which we can help.
Mercy Ships welcomes those who have time to dedicate themselves to the mission of bringing hope and healing to the poorest communities in the world. Mercy Ships Spain assists in the recruitment process for those interested in serving with Mercy Ships.
