Mercy Ships to Set Sail for Africa
The world's largest non-governmental hospital ship, Mercy Ships' 'Africa Mercy', is set to sail to Africa this week following eight years of conversion work and global fundraising.
The former Danish rail ferry has been converted into a state-of-the-art hospital ship at a cost of over £30m and will provide free healthcare and community development services to the poorest people of Africa.
The Africa Mercy is due to sail on its inaugural trip to Liberia on 4 May.
