Mecca: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Health has honored the Qatari Hajj Mission’s medical unit, in recognition of its effective role in providing high-quality healthcare services in the 1446 AH Hajj season.

According to Qatar News Agency, in this context, medical unit head Dr. Khalid Abdul Hadi received a certificate of appreciation on behalf of his team. This recognition reflects the medical unit’s outstanding services, which stem from its objective of providing Qatar’s pilgrims with a fully integrated healthcare system in Mecca and the holy sites around the clock.

The medical unit’s clinics are staffed with a specialized medical team of various specializations, including internal medicine, cardiology, emergency medicine, infectious diseases, ENT, nursing, ambulance services, and pharmacy.

In a statement issued Monday, the Qatari Hajj mission said that this recognition is the result of the State of Qatar’s approach under its wise leadership to offer the country’s pilgrims with the highest levels of support and care, with the Qatari Hajj mission’s service, technical, and support units unifying their efforts to ensure that pilgrims perform their rituals in a safe and healthy environment that provides maximum peace of mind and comfort.

The medical unit has set up field clinics fully equipped with state-of-the-art medical apparatus and has deployed a top-level ambulance and a team of doctors and nurses to monitor and accompany pilgrims across holy sites, including Arafat, Muzdalifah, and Mina, to ensure a rapid response to emergencies.

The Qatari Hajj mission’s healthcare services are one of the most outstanding aspects of Qatar’s Hajj experience. They consist of proactive medical care, applying the highest safety and prevention standards, in addition to raising pilgrims’ awareness and educating them on health-related matters before and during the pilgrimage.

The Qatari Hajj mission highly values this recognition from the Saudi Ministry of Health, which embodies the deep fraternal ties and joint cooperation in serving the pilgrims. It also reflects the exemplary coordination between Qatari and Saudi authorities to ensure a successful and distinguished Hajj season on all levels.
