Ophthalmology Hospital in El-Mahalla El-Kubra – 1913

This title refers to the Ophthalmology (Eye) Hospital in the city of El-Mahalla El-Kubra, in 1913, during the reign of Khedive Abbas Helmy II (1892–1914).

This period marked the expansion of modern medical services in Egypt, particularly in ophthalmology, due to the widespread prevalence of eye diseases such as trachoma among urban and rural populations.

The El-Mahalla El-Kubra Eye Hospital served as a regional medical center for the city and surrounding villages, reflecting the early governmental efforts to provide specialized healthcare outside Cairo and other major cities.
