Genesis of Hospital
FREE OPHTHLALMIC SOCIETY is a dream realized by a group of socially committed professionals-Late Dr. D. D. Sathye, Late Dr. D. S. Sardesai, Late Dr. Dr. C .R. Athavale. Their commitment to provide eye care free or with nominal fee to the poor and the people from lower middle class was accepted as basic value of the Society. This value appealed to none other than MAHATMA GANDHI - the father of the nation-who laid the foundation stone of the Hospital building in 1931. Land was bought by Aimai Merwanji Chamarbaugwala and a large donation of cash Rs.50000/- came for this venture from a philanthropic soul- Khan Bahadur Haji Bachooali (KBHB) whose name has been conferred to the hospital.
