History
Until 1948, there was a village in the area by the name of Dayr 'Amr.[3] In 1942 an agricultural school was established there for Arab orphans of the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. In 1950 a hospital for people with tuberculosis was founded on the site.
Today Eitanim is a psychiatric hospital that specializes in acute emergency cases. It operates as a branch of Kfar Shaul and the Jerusalem Mental Health Center. The compound has separate facilities for men and women.[4] Eitanim is the only psychiatric hospital in Israel with an entire ward dedicated to the treatment of severe autism in adults.[5]
