Mercy Ships Partnership Helps Us to Reach More People in Need
Physician from Mercy Ships mentors local dental students in Conakry, Guinea
Our new program in partnership with Mercy Ships will bring dental and surgical expertise to the community of Conakry, Guinea. Mercy Ships is a nonprofit organization that uses hospital ships to deliver free, world-class healthcare services, and sustainable development to under-privileged areas. World Telehealth Initiative and Mercy Ships have a shared goal: to build the capacity of local healthcare systems in vulnerable communities to create a lasting impact.
Due to COVID-19, Mercy Ships cannot safely dock their hospital ships. However, our partnership will equip Mercy Ships with the telehealth technology to continue their great work training local physicians and strengthening healthcare systems during this pandemic. We are working together in Conakry, Guinea to ensure that their community has access to quality dental and surgical care for years to come. Thank you, Mercy Ships, for your dedication to sustainably strengthening health systems and building a healthier world for future generations.
Stay tuned for more updates on our new program in Guinea!
