    The hospital was established as a major medical Facility in Jerusalem after the 1948 war to care for Palestinian refugees. It was first managed by the international Committee of the Red Cross and then, since May 1, 1950, by the Lutheran world Federation .AVH is now a program of LWF’s Department for World Service. A professional board of Governance, appointed by the LWF, manages the hospital and represents a wide variety of Lutheran Churches, local and international, as well as related agencies that support the mission of the hospital.
