Al Baseer Foundation began with a single mobile eye camp and has grown into a multi-program humanitarian organisation serving Pakistan's most underserved communities.
Established in 2012, Al Baseer Foundation is dedicated to improving eye health for underserved communities in Pakistan. Al Baseer Eye Hospital was inaugurated in November 2012 by Professor Saleh Memon, a pioneer of the Prevention and Control of Blindness Program and First National Coordinator of the Eye Health Committee Pakistan.
Guided by the Integrated People-Centered Eye Care approach, we work with partners, government departments, NGOs, community organisations and disability organisations. Our focus is compassion, transparency and long-term impact — and we continue to add new programs for the communities we serve.
To reduce avoidable blindness in Pakistan through inclusive, high-quality eye care that is accessible, affordable and patient-centered, with a focus on underserved communities.
A future where no one suffers from preventable blindness — serving people who are needlessly blind because eye care is unavailable or unaffordable, and building a sustainable, inclusive eye care system across Pakistan.
Raising awareness of preventable blindness, providing treatment, and collaborating with public and private sectors, with compassion, transparency and long-term impact at the centre.
The foundation begins its mission to reduce avoidable blindness in Pakistan, with a focus on underserved communities.
Professor Saleh Memon, First National Coordinator of the Eye Health Committee Pakistan, inaugurates Al Baseer Eye Hospital in Karachi — the start of the mission.
The Comprehensive Eye Care Program is launched to expand hospital services and community outreach, including Primary Eye Care Centers in Kunri, Gharo and Sujawal.
Community-based, school, college/university and industrial eye screening programs, plus international eye camps with partner organizations, extend care to people who could not otherwise reach it.
With partners such as Al Wahab Foundation and Ummah Welfare Trust, the foundation keeps adding new programs and reaching new communities.
