Makkah: The Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia has approved the medical unit of the Qatari Haj mission, marking the start of work in it and its readiness to receive patients and visitors from the pilgrims of Qatar.
It came after reviewing all the equipment included in the medical unit, clinics and services and all the facilities it provided for health care of the pilgrims of Qatar, and ensuring that the medical unit in the Haj mission met the standards.
This came during a visit by a medical delegation from the Saudi Ministry of Health yesterday to the headquarters of the Qatari Haj mission in the southern Aziziyah neighbourhood in Makkah Al Mukarramah, to see and approve the mission's clinics and health facilities according to the standards set by the Saudi authorities.
The delegation made an inspection tour of the medical clinics and their facilities, during which they were briefed on the clinics and medical equipment sections provided by the mission to the pilgrims of Qatar. During the tour the delegation was accompanied by Dr. Khaled Abdul Hadi, head of the medical unit in the Qatari Haj mission, and a number of doctors and consultants in the unit.
Dr. Hadi said that the mission's clinics includes a section for receiving and classifying patients, where the pilgrim is subjected to biometrics, and in normal cases, the pilgrim is transferred to the clinic on the upper floor to receive treatment that suits his condition.
He said that in the event that a person is diagnosed with infectious diseases such as the Coronavirus disease, he will be transferred to the isolation rooms provided by the clinic, and later to Saudi clinics equipped for these cases with the latest capabilities.
Dr. Hadi said that a contract was signed with Al Ahly Saudi Private Hospital, which is located near the residence of Qatar pilgrims, to treat critical and emergency cases that require specialised medical attention, noting that the unit follows up all types of conditions and chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and others.
