St. John the Baptist Children's Hospital

St. John the Baptist Children's Hospital (Arabic: مستشفى يوحنا المعمدان للاطفال mustashfā yūḥannā al-ma‘madān lil-aṭfāl) is a children's teaching hospital located in the Palestinian municipality of Umm Sanjak, a major suburb of Nasser City located about 7 kilometres northwest of the city centre. The largest and arguably most prestigious children's hospital of the Arab Union, St. John the Baptist Children's Hospital was founded in 1919 by the Eastern Orthodox Church's Patriarchate of Jerusalem, which to this day retains ownership of the hospital and operates it as a registered charity. The hospital is located directly across Tiberias Avenue from St. John's Tiberian Monastery in central Umm Sanjak.

Patients of the hospital who are citizens, permanent residents or legal immigrants of the Arab Union can access all hospital services free of charge as part of the universal single-payer healthcare system administered by the National Health Authority (NHS), and the hospital provides healthcare free of charge on a charitable basis to foreign nationals and undocumented immigrants who cannot afford hospital fees. St. John the Baptist Children's Hospital has a total of 1100 beds, a large emergency department and intensive care unit, and several additional units specialising in paediatric surgery, radiology, cardiology, pulmonology, mental health, neurology, neonatology and several other specialty fields of paediatric medicine. Palair operates an air ambulance service for the NHS, which provides rapid access to the hospital from across the Levant.
