Ok, how about this for a startup. We buy a cruise ship, hire a load of doctors, plant it in international waters and boat people out for service. Might be some problems for doing certain procedures because of the boat moving but it might work in some cases haha.

- MistahKoala 11y agoThat's fairly similar to what the Spanish government does for its fishing fleet. Mercy Ships operate hospital ships, but as a charitable cause. It's something I've sometimes wondered about before.
- theklub 11y agoI didn't even know about Mercy ships, seems like a for profit one wouldn't be too far fetched then.
- MistahKoala 11y agoI don't see why not - but then, IANAL and I don't know what legal considerations there might be for something so unusual like this. From a technical point of view, it seems realistic, assuming operational/logistical factors can be overcome (it would almost certainly have to be in transit whilst in operation, rather than stationary).
