The Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital is a university teaching hospital in Al-Zahra in the central part of Gaza, affiliated with the Islamic University in Gaza. In 2011, a delegation from the university's Faculty of Medicine submitted a request to the Turkish Prime Ministry to obtain funding to build a university hospital. The hospital was subject to several obstacles that hindered its use and opening for several years related to disputes over its management between the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Ramallah, especially since the Turkish government wanted to hand it over to the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah. The dispute was overcome due to the need to use the hospital during the coronavirus pandemic[1]. It was eventually opened in March 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic to meet emergency medical needs, thus becoming a teaching hospital under the supervision of the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, providing its services primarily as a specialized hospital for cancer patients, and secondarily for cardiac patients, and includes fully equipped operating rooms[2]. The hospital has eight buildings, with a clinical capacity of 272 beds, and the hospital staff consists of 248 health personnel[3]. It provides services to more than 10,000 cancer patients.
