What An-Najah National University Hospital does

An-Najah National University Hospital (NNUH) is a non-profit academic medical center in Nablus, Palestine, founded in 2014 and operated by An-Najah National University. It is the first and only educational medical center in Palestine, integrating patient care, medical education, and clinical research under a single institutional umbrella. NNUH delivers comprehensive acute-care services across more than 20 medical specialties, organized into Internal Medical Departments (including Cardiology, Oncology, Nephrology, Bone Marrow Transplantation, Neurology, and Gastroenterology), Surgery Departments (Cardiothoracic, Vascular, Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, Plastic Surgery, and others), Diagnostic Services (Radiology, Emergency, Pathology), and Support Services (Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Psychological Social Services). The hospital operates as the only center in Palestine performing autologous bone marrow transplantation (300+ procedures since 2014) and the sole domestic provider of advanced cardiac procedures including the Ozaki aortic valve neocuspidization and Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC).

NNUH's underlying platform combines a 165-person staff (including 88 specialist physicians and 55+ resident physicians), 1,400+ affiliated medical students, and digital infrastructure including a Patient Portal mobile application and an online Clinical Research Submission Platform. It holds JCI accreditation (renewed July 2023), ISO 9001, ISO 15189, and ANCC nursing continuing professional development accreditation, and received a 4-Star global rating from Statista and Newsweek in September 2024. The hospital records approximately 18,190 emergency visits and 25,074 outpatient clinic visits annually, and serves approximately 450 kidney disease patients through its comprehensive Kidney Disease Treatment Center (300 hemodialysis, 150 peritoneal dialysis).

The hospital generates revenue primarily through direct patient healthcare services billed via six insurance providers (WeCure, Smart Insurance, Palestine Insurance, GlobeMed, NatHealth, Mashreq Insurance), self-pay arrangements, and payments from the Palestinian Ministry of Health for patients referred through the government medical transfer system. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through outpatient clinics, emergency services, inpatient care, and scheduled procedures, with patient access available via walk-in, phone, website appointment booking, mobile app, and now specialized evening clinics (launched August 2023). Patient segments span the general population of Nablus and the broader West Bank and Gaza Strip, medical students and resident physicians requiring clinical training, and chronically ill populations requiring ongoing specialty care such as dialysis, oncology, and cardiac treatment.
