Abstract

In Jerusalem in 1888, the Hospital of St. John was founded to combat the eye diseases prevalent in the Middle East. Since that time, this institution has survived world wars and local ones, and the geographic confusion created by redefinition of national borders. The author reviews the remarkable 90-year history of this institution, with special emphasis on her 13-year personal association there.
