Floating Hospitals

Imagine a remarkable fleet of hospital ships crewed with dedicated doctors, nurses,
captainsand engineers sailing to some of the most underprivileged nations in Africa. 

Imagine this crew of volunteer professionals from around the world
offering life-saving surgeries free of charge.

Now imagine a global network of like-minded partners & donors from the Yachting industry
and from Monaco providing the necessary resources to fuel this transformational mission.

Health care is a human right!

We believe that everyone deserves a life full of promise and potential. That every parent deserves to see her child grow healthy and thrive. And that being able to access the medical care you need should never depend on where you are born.
