The Catholic Hospital in Bethlehem that is saving thousand of babies

Holy Family Hospital of Bethlehem is a maternity and critical care facility serving near the birthplace of Jesus Christ. It is the referral hospital for the region for high-risk pregnancies and is a touchstone in Bethlehem known for its compassionate high-quality care and a preference for the poor.   

The Hospital is a work of the Sovereign Order of Malta, a global institution operating medical, social and humanitarian projects in over 120 countries.  

The mission of welcoming and caring for people in the Holy Land through the work of the hospital is special. The Holy Family Hospital of Bethlehem stands out as an oasis of peace and ecumenical partnership in the increasingly tumultuous situation of the Holy Land.
