The Zayed Regional Eye Care Centre (SZRECC) in the Kanifing are of Gambia is a charity clinic which serves as a centre of excellence and training for eye care in the West African sub-region. It provides training programmes for several levels of eye care personnel, including a Diploma in Ophthalmology and an Advanced Diploma in ophthalmology (community or surgical focus).

The centre provides district support to enable graduating students to develop eye care services in their own countries. Up till mid-March, 2005 the centre has screened and treated 4,950 patients, conducted 1,688 eye operations and performed 1,191 cataract operations. It has trained five cataract surgeons, six ophthalmic paramedics, 13 community ophthalmic nurses and 1,200 primary eye care workers.
