Dear member of the WAEH,

Is your hospital a full member of the WAEH and are you the person representing your hospital in the WAEH network?

If so, you can apply to become a board member of the WAEH.
This year five board members from the current board will need to step down due to the board member structure in place. These are represents from the following eyehospitals:

  • Singapore National Eye Centre
  • Rotterdam Eye Hospital
  • Wilmer Eye Institute

  • Aier Eye Hospital Group

Please note that board members who step down can also go for re-election in the same year they step down.

After the application process has ended, all full members of the WAEH will receive a link to the voting form to select the new board member from the members that applied for board membership.
