University Eye Hospital of Shahrara

This hospital was established based on a memorandum of understanding signed in 2000 (1379 AH) between the Ministry of Higher Education, Kabul University of Medical Sciences "Abu Ali ibn Sina," and the esteemed International Assistance Mission (IAM). The agreement, which was valid for ten years, initiated operations under the name "University Eye Hospital" within the premises of the Kabul University Health Polyclinic, located in Deh Bori, with a staff of 13 technical and administrative personnel and 25 beds.

In 2003 (1382 AH), the hospital was relocated from the Health Polyclinic to the premises of Kabul University of Medical Sciences and continued its operations with the support of IAM until 18/11/1391 (2012). Following the conclusion of the memorandum with IAM, the hospital began utilizing its own available resources, and on 18th Dalw 1392 (2013), it was officially established as an independent entity. Under the direction of the university administration, it moved from Kabul University of Medical Sciences "Abu Ali ibn Sina" to the Malali Zijenton building located in Shahrara. Subsequently, through the efforts of Kabul University of Medical Sciences and the members of the Department of Ophthalmology, in 2021 (1400 AH), the hospital's management was elevated to a full hospital status, with 56 staff personnel.

Currently, it operates as a center for providing healthcare services and education for students of Kabul University of Medical Sciences "Abu Ali ibn Sina," catering to students, interns, resident doctors, ophthalmologists, and treating our fellow citizens 24 hours a day.

Additionally, based on a prior agreement between Kabul University of Medical Sciences "Abu Ali ibn Sina" and the Fred Hollows Foundation, four personnel from this hospital were sent to Pakistan for bachelor’s degree and technician training in ophthalmology through scholarship programs aimed at capacity building for the eye hospital.

The hospital engages in various activities including teaching (practical work for students), comprehensive examinations, inpatient care, surgeries, biometry, laser treatments, laboratory services, eye examinations and prescriptions, pharmacy services, and emergency cases.

The university Eye Hospital is a pioneer in providing ophthalmic healthcare services and serves as an educational and specialized center for ophthalmology in the country. It spans an area of 12,000 square meters and consists of three buildings constructed from raw and fired bricks. The dimensions of each building are as follows: the surgical building (170 square meters), administrative and inpatient building (864.48 square meters), and clinic building (453.47 square meters), totaling 47 rooms. Additionally, this center has a drinking water well along with six sewage absorption wells.

In terms of facilities, it is equipped with advanced medical instruments and technologies in the field of ophthalmology and has a committed staff of 65 employees dedicated to maintaining its reputation and ensuring progress in ophthalmic medicine.

The development and implementation of a strategic plan for the years 2021 to 2025 will ensure sustained academic activities and service delivery in terms of quality. This strategic plan encompasses a five-year framework addressing inherent uncertainties regarding opportunities and threats faced by the Teaching Eye Hospital.
