In a dedicated effort to improve health care services for the long term in developing nations, Mercy Ships supports the practical support and training of local health care providers.

Tools & Resources
Health care workers in the developing world often lack resources such as medicines, equipment and specific tools necessary to deliver basic medical care. In addition to providing training and support, Mercy Ships helps meet these practical challenges through the distribution of appropriate medical equipment and resources.

Training & Mentoring
Mercy Ships builds local capacity through the training of national surgeons and nurses in new techniques and procedures. Local health care workers include medical specialists and generalists, dentists, ophthalmologists, surgeons, doctors, nurses, midwives and traditional birth attendants, community health workers and medical students.
