Assuta Ashdod Hospital opened its doors in 2017. It was the first new public hospital to be built in Israel in forty years. The hospital was built following an agreement signed in 2011 between the Government of Israel and Assuta Ashdod (owned by Assuta Medical Centers). At the beginning of 2024, the hospital's operations were transferred to a non-profit organization that is part of the Maccabi Healthcare Services group.
