Regent Medical continues to support many charities through its Regent Foundation. Recently a large consignment of Biogel surgical gloves was donated and delivered to Mercy Ships, an international charity operating hospital ships around the globe including Africa, Nicaragua, Central America and the Caribbean.
The highly skilled surgeons onboard Mercy Ships are committed to performing life changing procedures that would otherwise not be available. They work to correct cleft lips and palates, remove tumours, rectify disfigurements and repair fistulas following childbirth or trauma. The volunteers, otherwise known as shipmates, aim to help those people from poor communities that have little, if no access to medical facilities. Mercy Ships also provide medical and dental teams that regularly visit prearranged sites or field clinics and additionally, work hard to educate and support the local communities.
