Augusta Victoria is a 161-bed hospital on Mount Scopus in East Jerusalem, financed by the Lutheran World Federation and the United Nations Refugee Works Administration.

Augusta Victoria is now the second-largest hospital in East Jerusalem. It also operates a guesthouse run by the Lutheran World Federation for international volunteers and guests. A pediatric oncology ward for Palestinian children opened in April 2005 in a joint project with the Peres Center for Peace, various Italian foundations and the Hadassah University Hospital in West Jerusalem, which trained the oncologist and nursing staff.
