چکیده
The International Centre for Eye Health (ICEH) had moved up in the world – away from the somewhat cramped quarters near Moorfi elds Hospital from which Dr Murray McGavin published the fi rst issue in 1988, to the lofty heights of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine’s Bedford Square offi ces in a beautiful three-storey house overlooking a city garden.
