Egypt , Tanta Ophthalmology Hospital – 1945

Tanta Ophthalmology Hospital – Al Gharbia Governorate, 1940s, during the reign of King Farouk I

This title refers to the Ophthalmology Hospital (Eye Hospital) in the city of Tanta, located in Al Gharbia Governorate, during the 1940s, a period that witnessed significant progress in public health and medical education in Egypt under King Farouk I (reigned 1936–1952).

During this time, the Egyptian government expanded its network of public hospitals and developed various medical specialties, including ophthalmology — a field in which Egypt had long been a regional leader.

The Tanta Eye Hospital served as a key regional medical center, providing specialized care for eye diseases to residents of the Delta and surrounding areas. The architecture of hospitals in that era often reflected modern classicist design, emphasizing cleanliness, structure, and efficiency — symbols of Egypt’s modernization and growing commitment to public health under King Farouk.
