The Elena Barraquer Foundation

After 13 years at the head of Barraquer Foundation´s international cooperation program, with the accumulated experience of 100 medical missions, 12,000 cataracts operated, 80,000 patients visited and 50,000 glasses delivered, Elena Barraquer decided to take a step forward in her commitment to restore vision to people without resources, blind by cataracts.

The Eye Foundation Hospital was started in 1993 as a high-tech specialist eye hospital capable of providing services comparable to those obtainable abroad.
