Ten examination rooms are taking shape at Hijazi Clinic in Gaza. Human Development Fund (HDF) is helping prepare a place where patients can come for medical care, with reception and waiting areas alongside the rooms where they will be seen.
Inside, workers are installing wooden wall panels and finishing the interiors. Door frames are in place for every room, and the doors have been prepared for installation. The clinic is still under construction, but the spaces that will welcome patients are coming together.
A place to come for care
The plans include 10 rooms for medical examinations, a reception area where patients can arrive and a separate area where they can wait to be seen. These are the spaces that will support a visit, from entering the clinic to meeting a clinician.
The Ministry of Health will decide how the examination rooms are assigned to different medical specialties. Those decisions are still pending as construction continues.
From clearing the site to finishing the rooms
The team has finished clearing and leveling the site, including the demolition work needed to prepare it. Work to secure the fence is also complete.
According to the latest update shared by HDF’s project team, tiling and steel and aluminum work are each approximately 95% complete. Carpentry and woodwork are around halfway finished. With the door frames installed, workers are continuing the work inside each room before hanging the prepared doors.
What needs to happen next
Work on the clinic’s electrical and mechanical systems is continuing. Underground systems have been installed, and materials for the remaining electrical work are already on site. The teams will complete these installations as the other building work progresses.
For now, the work is in the hands of the construction team: fitting panels, finishing floors and completing the systems the building needs. Each completed room brings Hijazi Clinic closer to its intended purpose, providing a place for people in Gaza to seek medical attention.
