It has a total surface area of 4,000 square meters, and five zones for patient transfer, medical examination, outpatient care, hospitalization, and medical evacuation. It is often dubbed "the Ark of Life."

Between 2010 and November 2019, the ship undertook seven overseas missions across the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans and visited 43 countries and regions in Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceania, North America, and South America, covering a distance of 240,000 nautical miles.
