HOW WE HELP

Infrastructure and Aid

Infrastructure projects aim to renovate hospitals or add additional annexes to existing buildings to help these facilities improve the availability and the quality of their medical services. Local medical staff often struggle to care for their patients in almost impossible environmental conditions.  

Infection control is a major issue in hospitals in both wealthy and developing nations. Mercy Ships teaches local medical staff to put UN safe surgery protocols into practice but often the local environment makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to keep even operating theatres clean and sterile.

That’s where Mercy Ships infrastructure projects like hospital refurbishment come into play, transforming facilities that are impossible to clean, into areas where local staff can effectively clean and sterilise greatly reducing the incidence of secondary infections.
