Projects.

The World Association of Eye Hospitals is a worldwide network of eye hospitals. All member-hospitals are “centres of excellence” in the area of ophthalmology. This means that they are all focused on delivering the highest quality and safest ophthalmic care. The organizations through the WAEH share all kinds of information and knowledge in a very open and transparent way, via teleconferences, personal meetings and exchanges, one day visits or even one month visits to gain greater insight. Another way of knowledge sharing is done via projects.
