- Abstract
This article reports that members of the dental team from all over the world are taking to the seas to bring dental treatment to developing countries. Mercy Ships, a global charity now in its 25th year, has operated a growing fleet of hospital ships that travel to developing nations since 1978. The 522-foot flagship, the M/V Anastasis, is currently the world's largest non-governmental hospital ship. She contains three fully equipped operating rooms, a dental clinic, a laboratory, an X-ray unit, and a 1,500 ton cargo capacity.
