The Africa Mercy has just completed a 10 month field service in the West African country of Sierra Leone, providing free medical care and humanitarian aid to thousands of the country’s poorest people. Since February, the volunteer medical teams have performed more than 2,700 free surgeries such as tumor removal, cleft lip and palate correction, cataract removal, orthopedics and skin grafts for burns victims. Volunteer dental teams have also carried out more than 28,700 dental procedures, providing essential dental care in a country that has only one dentist for every 1 million people. We are grateful for every volunteer and every donor who enabled us to bring hope and healing to thousands of people in Sierra Leone.
