Mercy Ships, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, is initiating a registration drive for patients requiring specific surgical procedures. This effort aims to provide life-changing surgeries for individuals with conditions that significantly impact their quality of life.

### Registration Details

The registration process is scheduled to take place in four different communities across Freetown. The dates and locations for the registration are as follows:

- **June 18th to June 21st**: 

  - Freetown-Community Health Center, Aberdeen Sea Coach

  - Freetown-Community Health Center, Wellington

- **June 24th to June 28th**:

  - Freetown-Community Health Center, Jui Tect

  - Freetown-Community Health Center, Tombo

### Conditions Eligible for Surgery

Mercy Ships is focusing on several specific surgical conditions. Patients with the following conditions are encouraged to register:

- Facial Tumors

- Post Noma (a condition affecting the face and mouth)

- Cataracts

- Inguinal Hernia

- Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate

- Lipoma (a benign tumor composed of fatty tissue)

### Registration Process

Registration for these surgical evaluations is entirely free of charge. However, it is essential for patients to understand that registering does not guarantee surgery. Each patient will undergo a thorough evaluation process conducted by Mercy Ships' medical professionals. Only those deemed suitable candidates by the surgeons will be approved for surgery.

Mercy Ships' mission is to provide high-quality surgical care to those in need, and this registration drive is a crucial step in identifying and assisting patients who can benefit most from their services.
