Lions Eye Hospital ✓

Lions Club of Kathmandu, the first Lions Club in Kathmandu and second in the country, Nepal, was established in 1972 in the initiation of 50 young leaders of the society. The club was brought into foundation as inspired from the slogan ‘WE SERVE’, to create and foster a spirit of understanding among all people for humanitarian needs by providing voluntary services throughout community involvement and international co-operation. The club was chartered on 12th July 1972 by the International Association of Lions Clubs. Prof. Dr. Anjani Kumar Sharma was installed as the first Charter President of the club. Since then the club has continued the journey of servicing the poor and needy people.

In response to the alarming statistics of 80,000 people in Nepal were needlessly blind from Cataract alone, revealed from the national survey in 1981, LCK formally commenced its contribution to eye care services, in 1984 with the opening of the Lions Eye Care Centre, in a small rented room in Bhrikuti Mandap, Kathmandu to offer a variety of eye care services to the poor and economically weak people from different parts of Nepal. Now we are located at Shantinagar, Kathmandu, were patients can access easily.

Since 2012 Lions Eye Care Centre was  transformed into a fully fledged eye hospital named Lions Eye Hospital. Since then it has progressed from strength to strength and now functions as a non-profit making.
