The board of the WAEH wants to wish the Kisii Eye Hospital from Kenya a warm welcome.

The World Association of Eye Hospitals is a worldwide network of eye hospitals and is happy to welcome the Kisii Eye Center as our very first sponsored member. All WAEH members are “centres of excellence” in the area of ophthalmology in their own country and focus on delivering the best and most safe ophthalmic care. The WAEH has decided to start with this new kind of membership during the 12th annual meeting of the WAEH in Ann Arbor, USA in 2018. The WAEH is happy to sponsor the Kissi Eye Hospital in the upcoming two years as it has the objective to provide excellent eye in Kenya.
