35 years of S:t Erik Eye Hospital!

2025-09-30 13:07:30

Dear WAEH colleagues,

My name is Sten Kjellström, CEO of S:t Erik Eye Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden.

This autumn, we are celebrating 35 years of S:t Erik as a specialized eye hospital. As part of our celebration, we are organizing a public Eye Week focusing on eye health and research, and we would love to include greetings from our WAEH family around the world.

We kindly invite you to send a short video greeting (around 30 seconds) where you:

Introduce yourself
Mention your hospital and country
Share a warm message to celebrate ophthalmology, collaboration, and the future of eye care

You’re very welcome to speak in your native language – we will add English subtitles. A simple phone video is perfect!

👉 Please upload your video no later than October 7 using this link: https://www.dropbox.com/request/E7PoiP8KuCRppqnDVv1F

This is a great opportunity to also promote your hospital and work as part of a global tribute to eye care.

Thank you in advance – your contribution will be a meaningful part of our celebration.
