Episode 217: Raeanne Newquist from Mercy Ships

Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life's Best Medicine. Raeanne Newquist is on staff at Mercy Ships—an international faith-based organization bringing hope and healing to the world's forgotten poor. As many as 5 billion people lack access to safe, affordable surgical and anesthesia services worldwide, and less than 6% of all operations are delivered to the world's poorest countries. Marginalised populations continue to suffer due to a lack of trained healthcare providers, inadequate infrastructure, and disproportionate out-of-pocket healthcare costs. Mercy Ships programs offer holistic support to developing countries striving to make healthcare accessible for all. Since 1978, Mercy Ships has delivered services to more than 2.71 million direct beneficiaries. The countries served by Mercy Ships are ranked as the poorest in the world by the United Nations Human Development Index.

In this conversation, Dr. Brian and Raeanne talk about…

• The mission and work of Mercy Ships
• How Raeanne became involved with Mercy Ships
• Stories from working abroad with Mercy Ships
• How Covid impacted the work of Mercy Ships
• Physician burnout and why it is happening
