URComped Supports Mercy Ships

URComped is thrilled to be a partner of Mercy Ships by making a donation for EVERY trip booked. The relationship with Mercy Ships and URComped began in June 2019 and we look forward to seeing it grow more in the years to come. With over 80% of our business being with cruise lines, it was fitting to choose Mercy Ships as our Charitable Partner of Choice. The love and life-changing impact that they bring to ports is inspiring.

Mercy Ships is a global organization that started in 1978 and has been operating ever since. They own and operate the world's largest charitable hospital ship, based in West Africa. Their ship is completely staffed by volunteers. Mercy Ship's goal is to provide the highest level of health care to people who have little or no access to any type of medical care in their own country.

Mercy Ships provides over 2,000- 2,500 free, life-changing surgeries every year. Not only that but the ship is utilized as a training platform in order to raise the level of healthcare infrastructure within the host country. This way the country does not become totally dependent on Mercy Ships and develops its own healthcare infrastructure. Their goal is to grow their impact and serve even more people, not only annually, but also as a result of their training program.
