The construction of a state-of-art eye hospital in Thika town is in the works. The Jain Youth League - a group that holds the Free Shah Eye Clinic every April in Thika town - revealed plans to put up the facility are underway. Group chairman Dr Jinesh Shah said despite holding free clinics for 39 years, eye, ear, nose and throat maladies are still on the rise. He said the group will hold free clinics - which will include dental services - regularly even after construction of the hospital. Shah said the group has brought in doctors from India and the UK, including six eye surgeons and six ENT surgeons.
