Hospital Ship

A hospital ship is a large vessel equipped with medical facilities similar to a hospital, designed to provide healthcare, emergency aid, and surgical services in regions lacking adequate medical infrastructure or during disasters. These ships have operating rooms, clinics, laboratories, and accommodation for medical staff, allowing them to deliver comprehensive care while sailing to affected areas. They are often operated by governments or humanitarian organizations and play a crucial role in disaster relief, conflict zones, and remote communities, combining maritime mobility with high-level medical support to save lives and improve health outcomes.
