Indonesia Hospital (Template:Lang-ar) is a hospital located in Bait Lahia, North Gaza Governorate, Gaza Strip, Palestine.
Construction of the hospital began in 2011 on 16,000 square meters of land donated by the government of Gaza. The project cost IDR 126 billion and was funded by donations from Indonesian people and organizations such as the Indonesian Red Cross Society and Muhammadiyah, collected through the Indonesian humanitarian organization Medical Emergency Rescue Committee. Indonesian Vice-president Jusuf Kalla inaugurated the hospital on January 9, 2016.
The hospital has 100 ward beds, 4 operating theaters, and a 10-bed intensive care unit. The staff includes some 400 Palestinians, paid by Gaza's health ministry, and several volunteers from Indonesia.
2023 Israel-Hamas war
On 20 November 2023, as part of the 2023 Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip, the IDF completely surrounded and besieged the hospital.
Israel claims that Hamas fighters are using the hospital for military purposes, although this is disputed.
