India and Palestine have finalised plans for a new 200-bed super-speciality hospital in the West Bank, indicating New Delhi’s expanding development and humanitarian partnership with the Palestinian Authority amid a challenging regional environment.
The project, supported by India, is expected to be completed within two years. The hospital will feature modern medical facilities and a trauma centre and is intended to serve Jenin and neighbouring governorates, including Tulkarm and Tubas. A bilateral memorandum of understanding was signed to formally advance its implementation.
Sripriya Ranganathan, Secretary in India’s Ministry of External Affairs, met Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa in Ramallah on Wednesday.
