St John Eye Hospital Group, Charitable eye hospital in Sheikh Jarrah, Jerusalem.
St John Eye Hospital Group is an eye care facility in Sheikh Jarrah that operates specialized departments for retinal treatment, corneal therapy, and pediatric services. The institution has multiple surgical theaters and provides both scheduled treatments and emergency services.
The institution began its medical work in 1882 on Bethlehem Road. Following damage to the original building, it relocated to Sheikh Jarrah in 1960.
The hospital takes its name from Saint John the Baptist and serves as a vital eye care center for the local community in East Jerusalem. Its work has shaped the region's approach to treating vision problems across generations.
Visitors should know the clinic is located in an active neighborhood and travel by public transit or taxi is recommended. Those planning treatment should arrange an appointment in advance, as emergency cases take priority.
The facility operates mobile teams that travel weekly across the West Bank, reaching thousands of patients each year. These outreach efforts extend eye care services to remote and underserved areas.
