Jerusalem branch

 The branch in Jerusalem is considered one of the first Palestinian humanitarian institutions and projects. The PRCS branch in Jerusalem is one of the landmarks of Jerusalem. It was established in 1951. The branch offers social and humanitarian care for the needy and poor people and the families of martyrs and detainees and establishes hospitals and emergency centers.

One of the main important projects of the PRCS branch in Jerusalem is the PRCS maternity and obstetrics hospital which was established in 1953 inside the walls of the Holy City. Due to the increasing need for the services of this hospital, it was moved outside the walls and is currently located at Mt. of Olives.
