The
Augusta Victoria Hospital is a church-hospital complex located on the northern side of the
Mount of Olives in
East Jerusalem, one of six hospitals in the
East Jerusalem Hospitals Network. The hospital provides specialty care for Palestinians from across the
West Bank and the
Gaza Strip, with services including a cancer center, a dialysis unit, and a pediatric center. It is the second largest hospital in East Jerusalem, as well as the sole remaining specialized care unit located in the West Bank or Gaza Strip. The complex also includes the
German Protestant Church of the Ascension, with a circa 50-metre-tall (160 ft)
bell tower.
