Fundação Banco de Olhos de Goiás

Founded in 1977, Fundação Banco de Olhos de Goiás is a foundation based in Goiânia, Brazil working on health.

The Fundação Banco de Olhos de Goiás (FUBOG) is an independent private non-profit foundation founded in 1977 by Lions Clubs in Greater Goiânia. It runs a specialised eye hospital in Goiânia, providing ophthalmic consultations, exams and surgeries, including corneal transplants and cataract surgery, largely through the Brazilian public health system (SUS), with health insurance and private patients also served. It offers 24-hour emergency care, trains ophthalmology residents and fellows, and encourages cornea donation. The foundation serves people from the 246 municipalities of Goiás and patients from other Brazilian states. It is recognised as a public utility entity under federal, state and municipal law and relies on donations and fundraising by its board, as it has no maintainer.
