Al-Ahli Hospital

The Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem runs the Al-Ahli Hospital, which was established in 1882 by the Church of Mission Society (CMS) of England and is located in Gaza. It became a service ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem in 1982 and continues to provide important medical and surgical care to all people of the Gaza Strip. A majority of the Gaza’s residents live in refugee camps and a significant portion of the hospital’s care is provided without charging fees as many individuals they serve are living in difficult circumstances. Al-Ahli has also responded to the needs of the victims of crises, including providing medical treatment to those affected by the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Global Ministries recognized Al-Ahli Hospital with an Award of Affirmation at the 2019 General Assembly International Dinner.
