Hospital Ships

Hospital ships are specially designed ships equipped to provide medical care, surgeries, and healthcare support to large numbers of patients, often in disaster zones or during humanitarian missions. They function as floating hospitals, with surgical suites, clinics, laboratories, and accommodation for medical staff. These ships can quickly deploy to areas lacking medical facilities, offering emergency treatment, ongoing healthcare, and disaster relief services. They are operated by governments or international organizations and are equipped to handle complex medical cases in challenging environments, serving as mobile platforms for medical aid and disaster response.
