WAEH Board Member Election

August 26, 2025

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
  • King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital & Research Centre
  • 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.

Would you like to become a board member of the WAEH?

You can apply online via: https://form.jotform.com/211941678449063
Please note that your application will be treated strictly confidential and will be just reviewed by the support team of the WAEH (Maaike van Zuilen, Wim Oosterom).
Deadline to send in your application: Deadline Friday September 12.

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.

PS: Is your eye hospital currently an associate member, but you think your eye hospital is ready to grow into full membership? Please feel free to contact Maaike van Zuilen via

The outcomes will be presented during the member meeting part II – at the annual meeting of the WAEH in France (Saturday October 11).
