About us
Driven by Excellence
At the heart of our service is a commitment to excellence — in patient care, in training future eye health professionals, and in building lasting partnerships with communities. The Department of Ophthalmology at GCGMMC stands at the intersection of expertise and empathy, where clinical precision meets the sincere desire to serve.
We strive to elevate primary eye care through education, innovation, and collaboration — ensuring no one is left behind in the journey toward better vision.
What makes us different?
We are the only government-based eye center on the island — and that means our commitment goes beyond commerce.
As a public hospital service, we exist not for profit, but for people. We make quality eye care accessible to everyone, especially the underserved. Backed by dedicated specialists and guided by the values of compassion and integrity, we ensure that no one is left behind simply because of cost or distance.
Our mission is clear: to bring sight-saving care where it’s needed most — because every eye deserves attention, and every patient matters.
