Mercy Ships Monaco gala raised €580,000 during its annual Gala.
Dinner held at the Hall of Champions on Port of Monaco, bringing together supporters, partners, philanthropists, and members of Monaco’s international community in support of life-changing surgical care and healthcare training across Africa.
Hosted by Pietro Polidori, the evening welcomed guests from Monaco and abroad for a celebration of hope, compassion, and a shared commitment to improving access to safe surgery for people living in underserved communities.
The gala featured performances by the internationally renowned French Twins, alongside live entertainment from Terence James and DJ Ollie, creating an energetic and memorable atmosphere throughout the evening.
The funds raised will directly support Mercy Ships’ mission to provide free, life-changing surgeries, deliver medical education and training, and strengthen healthcare systems in partnership with host nations across sub-Saharan Africa.
For more than four decades, Mercy Ships has worked to increase access to safe surgical care in regions where millions lack access to essential healthcare services. Through its hospital ships and long-term partnerships, the organisation helps build sustainable healthcare capacity while transforming the lives of patients and their families.
The Monaco Gala continues to play a vital role in raising both awareness and support for Mercy Ships’ humanitarian mission, uniting individuals and organisations committed to expanding access to quality healthcare where it is needed most.
