Hospital - Those involved in direct patient care wear scrubs for work. Many chose to bring their own from home, but a selection will be available on the Africa Mercy.
Deck and Engineering - Please bring 2 pairs of coveralls and a pair of steel-toed shoes. For the Technical Administrator position, casual wear is acceptable on a day to day basis. All are required to bring at least one pair of black dress slacks/skirt and a white uniform shirt with epaulets.

- For Deck Officers: at least one pair of khaki trousers and khaki shirt with epaulets for general work and duty days
- For Engineering Officers: at least one paie of khaki trousers and khaki shirt with epaulets for "ON DUTY" days
Galley and Dining Room - A uniform is not required but an apron which must be worn and will be provided. You should wear clothes that are loose fitting, comfortable and follow the dress code. A hat must be used for all galley crew.
*Shoes - Must wear an approved non-slip shoe when working. The approved vendor is "Shoes for Crews" at www.shoesforcrews.com. An individual may purchase any shoe they wish from Shoes for Crews, except for shoes with holes in the top. The crew member needs to bring the shoes with them when reporting to the ship. Overshoes are available if needed. However, we cannot accommodate those with wide sizes as the overshoes do not come in a wide size.
Note: Your clothes and shoes are likely to get dirty so bring things you don't mind damaging (old t-shirts, comfortable trousers, etc). Also remember that the galley area will get hot as you work throughout the day.
