Ahmedabad: C.H. Nagri Municipal Eye Hospital in the city has emerged as a major centre of healthcare, bringing vision and hope to more than five lakh patients over the past three years. Strengthening its commitment to advanced treatment, the hospital is set to take another step towards modern eye care with the launch of a Vision Therapy Centre in the near future, an official statement said.

In 2024, this number increased to 1,61,538, while in 2025, the hospital recorded a significant jump with 1,76,699 patients treated. The consistent rise highlights the hospital’s growing importance as a major eye-care centre for Ahmedabad and neighbouring regions.

The hospital’s contribution to eye donation has also been significant. In 2023, a total of 332 eye donations were recorded, which rose sharply to 563 donations in 2024. In 2025, 505 eye donations were carried out, enabling many visually impaired patients to regain sight.
