The Surgery Ship - Health Channel

The Surgery Ship

A dedicated team of volunteer doctors and nurses sets sail to some of the world’s most underserved regions, where they confront extreme medical conditions rarely seen elsewhere—unchecked tumors, severe deformities, and life-threatening illnesses. But the true challenge lies beyond the operating room. As they face heartbreaking cases and limited resources, these medical professionals must make agonizing ethical decisions—choosing who receives care and who must wait. It’s a profound and emotional journey that tests their skills, compassion, and humanity, as they carry the delicate weight of life and death in their hands.

Premieres Friday, May 23rd at 8pm
