In line of KKESH celebration of 2020 World Sight Day, KKESH has started organizing many activities and events to raise the level of health awareness among community members about eye diseases and the diseases that lead to blindness that can be avoided and how to prevent these diseases.

In a continuation of our interest to activate the role of social responsibility, KKESH has entered into a community partnership with Dr. Cafe to be the official sponsor of the World Sight Day under the supervision of KKESH to raise public awareness about this day. Dr. Cafe has contributed in printing a custom code on the mugs as any customer can scan the code with his phone to reach an integrated educational content related to eye diseases and how to prevent them.

KKESH social media platforms have also been harnessed to raise and emphasize this awareness through periodic publications. In addition, a live broadcast was presented by some of KKESH ophthalmologists relating children's eye diseases and glaucoma, and ways to treat and to prevent them.In order to interact and communicate with international bodies, KKESH participated with a set of its photos in the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness.
