Sharp NEC Display Solutions, manufacturers of projectors and displays, is anticipating the launch of the Global Mercy, a vessel from Mercy Ships, which features donated equipment from Sharp/NEC, including large format displays, computer monitors, and projectors, according to a company press release.

The ship has arrived in Antwerp, Belgium where the equipping and installation of communication and healthcare technology is taking place. Global Mercy plans to launch in 2022.

Mercy Ships is an international faith-based organization that uses hospital ships to perform surgeries and seeks to build long-term healthcare capacity and systems in the nations it serves.

In addition to monitors and projectors to be installed throughout the ship, Sharp/NEC's donation also included a wall of displays in the simulation training room, a tool that will assist in providing education for nurses, doctors, surgeons, and other healthcare providers.

In the summer of 2021, representatives from Mercy Ships celebrated the transfer of the newly constructed hospital ship from shipyard to owners. Once fully equipped, the Global Mercy will set sail to its first stop in Senegal in early 2022.

Mercy Ships uses hospital ships to deliver free healthcare services, capacity building, and sustainable development to those with little access in the developing world. Founded in 1978 by Don and Deyon Stephens, Mercy Ships has worked in more than 55 developing countries, providing services valued at more than $1.7 billion and directly benefitting more than 2.8 million people.
