Hebron Hospital

Since opening our Hebron centre November 2005, the number of patients being seen there has doubled and we have taken over a second floor of the Dahyiet El Zaitoun Hospital building, where we are situated.  In 2008, then Chairman John Talbot upgraded the then Clinic’s status to that of a Hospital in its own right. 

The West Bank is subjected to a severe and complex system of movement restrictions, and the construction of the Separation Wall has created even more serious implications. The Hebron Governorate in the South is particularly affected due the presence of around 700 Israeli settlers who live in fortified enclaves within the city.

Such restrictions have had a disastrous effect upon the health of the half a million Palestinian residents, both directly by preventing people from accessing health care, and indirectly by adversely affecting the Hebron economy, resulting in decreased living standards and in people’s ability to afford health care.

In 2011, our Hospital in Hebron treated 12,617 patients.  It is vital that we continue to provide services there.

The presence of the Hospital benefits all residents of the Hebron Governorate, as well as the semi-nomadic Bedouins of the Negev Desert.
