Palmed, in collaboration with local partners, has been spearheading the European Hospital Renewal Project. The project aims to fully rehabilitate the hospital and bring it back to full operational capacity. Thanks to this effort, the hospital’s electrical network has been restored, and the oxygen generator center has been reopened, enabling critical care services to resume.
Stage 1: Restoration of the hospital’s electrical network.
Stage 2: Reopening of the oxygen generator center.
Stage 3: Currently underway, focusing on continued renovations across all hospital departments and facilities.
This project has brought new hope to the region, providing patients with access to healthcare services that are vital to the community’s well-being. Palmed remains committed to the long-term sustainability of the Health system in Gaza and the enhancement of medical services in the area.
Following two months of closure, the European Hospital in Gaza was successfully reopened on August 25th, with the dedicated support of Palmed . This reopening marks a vital step in restoring essential healthcare services to the people of Gaza after the hospital’s complete evacuation and closure on July 2nd.

We are pleased to announce the opening of the fourth medical clinic by the Palestinian Doctors Association in Europe, Turkey Branch, in the heart of Gaza City, specifically in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood. The city faces a severe healthcare crisis due to the scarcity of operational health facilities and the challenges of accessing them. This clinic will provide essential medical services to residents of Sheikh Radwan, Al-Nasr, West Gaza, Al-Shati refugee camp, and surrounding areas.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all colleagues and supporters who contributed to the success of this project and other ongoing medical initiatives by the association. We pray for the swift relief of our people, healing for the injured and sick, and safety for everyone.
We are excited to share the latest developments in the Gem Scheme Project, an initiative dedicated to supporting the Gazan Medical students.
‘’Clinical placements and assessments of the Year 4 Medical Students from the Islamic University in Gaza. ‘’
This update focuses on the progress made within the Internal Medicine module, a critical component of the medical curriculum. Our students have been diligently working through their clinical placements, gaining invaluable hands-on experience and enhancing their practical skills in real-world medical settings.
These clinical placements are essential for the students’ professional growth and competence, preparing them to become the next generation of skilled and compassionate doctors. However, to sustain and expand this vital program, we need your support.
Please consider donating to this worthy cause. Together, we can help shape a brighter future for healthcare in Gaza.

Rafah Crossing – Egyptian Side
After spending two weeks of volunteer service in hospitals in the north and south of the Gaza Strip, members of PalMedEurope’s fifth specialised international delegation left Palestine today, Monday, and arrived at the Egyptian side of the Rafah Crossing.
By the Grace and Guidance of God, consultant colleagues in the following specialties: (Intensive Care and Anaesthesia – Vascular Surgery – Burn and Cosmetic Surgery – Emergency Surgery – Intensive Care Nursing – Orthopaedic Surgery – Anaesthesia and Emergency) were able to perform dozens of specialised surgical operations and interventions for the wounded and patients from among our people in the Gaza Strip. The delegation also managed to deliver quantities of medical supplies, devices, and medications urgently needed for Gaza’s hospitals.
In this regard, we extend our thanks and appreciation to colleagues and members of the delegation and to all donors and supports of PalMedEurope’s activities who contribute towards the success of our delegations’ missions, and the delivery of medications, and medical equipment. Special thanks also go to PalMed’s office in Gaza and to our dedicated colleagues and medical staff working in the Strip’s hospitals.
We also extend our gratitude to Rahma Worldwide Foundation with whom our delegations that reached the Strip joined ranks. We affirm that PalMedEurope will continue to equip and send medical delegations, and to arrange and implement sustainable relief projects to support the health sector there until Gaza’s hospitals return to a better state than they were before Israel’s barbaric aggression against Gaza and its sustained targeting of its health sector, God Willing. We pray to the Almighty to dispel the injustice and aggression that Israel continues to perpetrate against our people as soon as possible.
Amen!
