Medhat Abbas
Medhat Abbas is a Palestinian health official who has served as director-general of the Gaza Health Ministry since at least January 2023,[1] including during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.[2]
Since Hamas’s takeover of Gaza in 2007, Abbas has been an official in the Gaza Health Ministry. As director of the ministry's crisis unit, Abbas told The BMJ in 2007 that Hamas had fired medical officials for "managerial, financial, and moral corruption," rather than politics.[3]
Abbas headed the Gaza Health Ministry's international cooperation department during the 2008-2009 Gaza War.[4] Abbas later was director-general of Al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza's main hospital, during the 2012 Israeli operation in the Gaza Strip[5] and of Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah during the 2014 Gaza War.[6]
