Mercy Ships Recognised for Outstanding Advocacy Campaign on access to Surgical and anesthetic care and education across the surgical ecosystem in Africa
The Mercy Ships campaign, supported by APO Group, was celebrated for its creativity and strategic success on a global scale by the PRovoke Media SABRE Awards. Mercy Ships is an international NGO that operates the largest civilian hospital ships in the world to deliver surgical care and medical training. This Declaration was endorsed on board international health charity Mercy Ship’s newest hospital ship, the Global Mercy™, as it docked in Dakar on May 20, 2022. Mercy Ships International Chief Medical Officer Dr. Mark Shrime urged that the progress made, and highlighted by the award, needs continued and urgent action. Mercy Ships stands solidly behind this call, recognizing that one person dies of a surgically treatable disease every two seconds.”Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Mercy Ships.
