Peshawar: Former governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Haji Ghulam Ali and Mayor of Peshawar Haji Zubair Ali on Thursday inaugurated a new branch of the Khyber Eye Foundation on Warsak Road, aimed at expanding access to free eye care services for underserved communities.

The Khyber Eye Foundation, a welfare organisation operating in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, provides free eye treatment to poor and deserving patients, including those eligible for Zakat. Its main facility, located in Ijaz Abad, Gulbahar No. 4, Peshawar, has been serving patients from across the province.

According to the foundation’s management, a steady increase in patient numbers reflected growing public trust in its services, prompting the Board of Directors to establish an additional facility to meet rising demand.

The new branch has been set up at Abshar Colony on Warsak Road under the leadership of Chairman Muhammad Taimoor Shah, with support from board members and Administrator Ubaidullah Siddiqui. Like the main facility, the new branch will offer free eye treatment and provide spectacles for near vision at no cost to deserving patients.

The inauguration ceremony began with a ribbon-cutting, followed by recitation from the Holy Quran. Addressing the gathering, Chairman Muhammad Taimoor Shah outlined the foundation’s mission and highlighted its commitment to accessible eye care.

Former provincial minister and former chairman of the foundation Muhammad Adnan Jalil, Director Finance Khalid Sultan Khawaja, and Director Audit and Legal Affairs Khawaja Yawar Nasir also spoke on the occasion, emphasizing the importance of expanding charitable health services.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mayor of Peshawar Haji Zubair Ali and former governor Haji Ghulam Ali appreciated the foundation’s welfare initiatives and expressed hope that the new branch would further benefit the local population.

Director Administration Faiz Muhammad concluded the event by thanking the guests, board members, and participants.
