The View Hospital, in collaboration with Cedars-Sinai, recently completed Qatar’s first full-thickness corneal graft transplant surgeries (penetrating keratoplasty) within the private healthcare sector, as announced on Sunday.
Conducted by the skilled Ophthalmology Department team at The View Hospital, these complex procedures involved replacing damaged corneal tissue to restore vision in patients with severe corneal disorders. The full-thickness corneal transplants require specialized techniques to replace the cornea and restore sight, underscoring the hospital’s capabilities in high-precision, innovative medical care.
Dr. Fatih Mehmet Gul, CEO of The View Hospital, highlighted the significance of these successful surgeries, which demonstrate the expertise and commitment of the medical team while expanding specialized healthcare options in Qatar’s private sector. “Restoring vision for these patients has been incredibly rewarding, and we look forward to continuing to offer life-changing treatments at The View Hospital,” he stated.
This achievement underscores The View Hospital’s commitment to advancing ophthalmic care in Qatar and establishing itself as a leader in private healthcare by providing state-of-the-art, life-enhancing procedures for patients locally and across the region, the statement concluded.
