Speaking at the inauguration, Dr. JYotee Trevedy , the Medical Director in Nairobi said that the hospital’s aim is to provide quality eye care efficiently to all fellow Kenyans.
“Besides being the place for treating eye ailments, we will also focus on building awareness of Kenyans that will lead to better understanding of the importance of eye care” added Dr. Jyotee.
Professor Amar Agarwal, Chairman of Dr. Agarwal’s Group of Eye Hospitals said that the testimony to the group’s transparency is best illustrated by the fact that it is the only eye care group with a viewing gallery from where surgery can be observed live.
