If you care to keep track: 1) Our Intensive Care Unit (only 3 beds!) 2) and 3) Our general patient wards. Men, women ad children share the same rooms. 4) "Squattie Potty" ...as the name suggests! Folks here are not familiar with the toilets we know at home. The squattie potty was suggested for their comfort while in the hospital. 5) and 6) X-ray room. 7) Vaginal vesicular fistula OR. 8) General surgery OR.Mercy Ships has been greatly blessed, as you can see, with more high tech equipment and space than they've ever had in the ship's 30 year history.When refurbishing this old ferry ship, designers had the patients greatest comforts in mind. Many of the patients we serve don't have the luxury of running water or electricity ( The country doesn't have a public system for either yet) , never mind airconditioning! We hope to make their stay as comfortable and effecient as possible :)
