The Mercy Ships crew is led by a team of volunteers from up to 40 nations, all of whom give their time and expertise for free.

Mercy Ships doesn’t just take doctors and nurses – the ship is a small city, with cooks, teachers, receptionists, mechanics, IT specialists, engineers and cleaners.

There are around 400 volunteers on our hospital ship at any one time, and 1,000 serve onboard throughout the year. One of them could be you! Meet some of them below.
