The YWAM PNG and Pacific Link. Two of YWAM’s ships that provide assistance to so many.
YWAM Ships is an organization that oversees vessels designed to provide medical care and other assistance to people in remote locations who sometimes have no other source providing the services these ships provide.
The YWAM PNG is the vessel I will be serving aboard. Essentially it is a floating hospital, and quite a modern one at that. It is equipped with general medical treatment facilities, as well as an optamology and dental clinic. In addition there is an area designated for equipoment sterelization, and a fully functional laboratory. Often the modern medical treatment this vessel provides is the only care of its kind people in certain parts of Papua New Guinea will ever receive.
