Our talented staff at Jamaica Hospital has been recognized by The Eye-Bank for Sight Restoration for their outstanding work and contributions toward giving the gift of sight.
The Eye-Bank for Sight Restoration is the world’s first eye bank that processes, collects, and distributes donor eye tissue for corneal transplants, medical research and education.
Each year 1,300 people have their sight restored due to the organization’s efforts.
Jamaica Hospital staff played an integral role in the Eye- Bank’s sight-restoring mission by ensuring that potential eye donations will be referred with accuracy, information collected will be completed and assisted in the facilitation of the recovery process.
