Kandahar Noor Eye Hospital (KNEH) is a ten bed hospital that IAM NOOR opened in 2007 in cooperation with a local partner. This facility provides eye care to the southern region of Afghanistan.
University Eye Hospital is also one of the main training hospitals for eye doctors in Afghanistan. A 3 year residency program is run that allows doctors from around the country to become ophthalmologists.
We believe that one of the keys to providing eye care to remote regions is the establishment of sustainable facilities that are not dependent on long term outside funding.
