In Bhubaneswar, Odisha, the Miriam Hyman Children's Eye Care Centre has changed the lives of thousands of children since its inception in 2008. Prior to its establishment, there was no children's eye care facility in eastern India, despite the prevalence of childhood blindness in the region. The clinic now serves around 3,000 children each month, performing 350 surgeries, many of which are free for underprivileged families. Funded by the family of Miriam Hyman, who perished in the 2005 London bombings, the centre is a lasting legacy that honors her memory by addressing a significant health issue in the community.
The clinic, established in 2008, in Bhubaneswar, now helps around 3,000 children a month with various eye issues and performs 350 surgeries monthly at low or no cost.
The Miriam Hyman Children's Eye Care Centre stands as a living memorial to Miriam Hyman, transforming her tragic death into hope for thousands of children suffering from blindness.
