Launch of the "Healthy Hajj" campaign to enhance medical care for pilgrims within the Kingdom
Health authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have launched the "Healthy Hajj" campaign, a national initiative aimed at providing comprehensive medical support to pilgrims from within the Kingdom. This step comes as part of the Kingdom's commitment to ensuring the safety and comfort of the pilgrims, and providing all necessary resources to enable them to perform Hajj rituals in a healthy and safe environment.
The campaign targets more than 160,000 male and female pilgrims from various regions of the Kingdom. The initiative works to provide primary care services before the start of the Hajj season, which helps in assessing the health status of pilgrims before they head to the holy sites.
Services provided under this campaign include comprehensive clinical examinations, in addition to precise laboratory tests. These examinations aim to ensure that pilgrims are free from infectious or chronic diseases that may require special care, and to provide them with the necessary medical consultations.
These efforts are part of a series of initiatives implemented by the Saudi Ministry of Health to strengthen preventive measures during the Hajj season. The Ministry emphasizes that these examinations are an essential part of an integrated plan to ensure a healthy and smooth Hajj season for everyone.
In conclusion, this campaign reflects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's commitment to developing health services provided to pilgrims, and underscores the importance of early preparation to ensure the safety of the crowds, reflecting the leadership's keenness to provide the best possible care for the pilgrims.
