The United Arab Emirates has inaugurated the Emirates Medical Centre for Primary Healthcare in Gaza, marking a significant step in supporting civilians affected by the ongoing humanitarian crisis. The opening ceremony, attended by medical professionals, local officials, and community representatives, highlights the UAE’s continued commitment to providing urgent healthcare assistance to vulnerable communities.
The centre is designed to deliver essential primary and emergency medical services, focusing on immediate treatment, diagnosis, and referral for critical cases. Equipped with modern medical tools and staffed by qualified healthcare professionals, the facility aims to reduce pressure on overburdened hospitals and ensure faster access to care for patients in need. Services include general consultations, emergency response, maternal and child healthcare, and basic diagnostic support.
Speaking at the event, representatives emphasized that the initiative reflects the UAE’s long-standing humanitarian values and its dedication to standing with the Palestinian people during challenging times. The project forms part of the UAE’s broader relief efforts, which include medical aid, food assistance, and infrastructure support in Gaza.
Community members welcomed the centre as a vital lifeline, noting that access to timely medical care has become increasingly difficult due to strained resources and ongoing instability. The presence of a dedicated primary healthcare facility is expected to save lives, particularly among children, the elderly, and those with chronic conditions.
By launching the Emirates Medical Centre in Gaza, the UAE reinforces its role as a key humanitarian partner, delivering practical, on-ground solutions that address urgent needs while upholding dignity, compassion, and solidarity in times of crisis.
