St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital Group is the only charitable provider of expert eye care in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, treating patients regardless of ethnicity, religion or ability to pay.
High rates of poverty across the region have led to a rate of blindness 10 times higher than in western countries.
Initially started in 1882 to treat a prevalent and blinding corneal eye disease, 140 years later - the Hospital now operates across 6 different sites, treating more than 134,000 patients and performing over 6,500 surgeries per year.
