Since its incorporation, Mercy Ships has performed over 100,000 free, life-changing surgeries, bringing hope and healing to communities in Africa.
Mercy Ships Switzerland
Across Switzerland, a growing number of entrepreneurs and companies are joining forces through the Mercy Ships Business Network. What unites them? A shared belief that business can do more — and mean more. Together, they’re helping fund surgeries, train medical teams, and bring lasting change to Africa’s most underserved communities. One connection at a time.
I know you may feel frustrated. Yes, your life can be tough sometimes, but believe me, it’s still beautiful. It’s true, people may hurt sometimes, but still love you. You got to forgive; you got to move on. Go ahead and tell them you love them, tell them you’re sorry, tell them the words they need to hear. Let them know you care, let them know they matter. Fix them, save them, hug them! Your life is here, and the right moment is now. Act unless it’s too late.
Across sub-Saharan Africa, millions of people live without access to safe, affordable medical care. Treatable conditions such as cleft lips, cataracts, or tumors often go untreated for years — not because the solutions don’t exist, but because they’re out of reach. Mercy Ships operates the world’s largest civilian hospital ships, staffed by volunteer medical professionals who provide free surgeries, dental care, and post-operative treatment to the poorest and most vulnerable. But we do more than heal — we invest in long-term transformation. Alongside surgical care, Mercy Ships trains and mentors local medical teams to strengthen healthcare systems from within. Each port visit is a commitment to restore lives, build capacity, and offer hope where it's long been deferred. Behind every surgery is a network of donors, volunteers, and business partners who make this mission possible — from Switzerland to Senegal, from boardroom to hospital ship.

Before surgery, this young girl lived in isolation. Her facial tumor didn’t just affect her health — it stole her confidence, her opportunities, and the simple joy of being a child. Thanks to Mercy Ships — and partners like you — she received a free, life-changing operation.
What was once a story of suffering has become one of healing, courage, and renewed hope. Today, she can smile, grow, and dream again. And she’s not alone — every partner helps write a new chapter in lives like hers.
Let the professionalism leads you to the highest top of your goals.

In the late 1970s, Don Stephens stood before the Anastasis with a bold dream — to bring healing where healthcare was out of reach. Decades later, that vision lives on through the Global Mercy, the world’s largest civilian hospital ship. What began with faith and determination has grown into a global movement, restoring lives across Africa. And today, through the Mercy Ships Business Network, that legacy continues — powered by people and businesses who believe in turning vision into impact.
