The Gaza European Hospital was inaugurated in the late 1990s, following a period of significant investment and support from the European Union. The establishment of the hospital was part of a broader effort to improve healthcare infrastructure within the Gaza Strip, which has historically faced numerous challenges including economic constraints, political instability, and conflict. The hospital was designed to offer advanced medical services that were previously unavailable in the region, thereby reducing the need for patients to seek treatment outside Gaza.

Despite these challenges, the hospital continues to provide essential healthcare services, often relying on international support to maintain its operations.
