Makkah Al Mukaramah: The first groups of Qatar's pilgrims will begin their return to the homeland today after performing the Hajj rituals this year with complete ease.
In a statement issued yesterday, Deputy Head of the Medical Services Unit at the Qatari Hajj Mission, Mishal Abdullah Al Musaifri, said that all Qatar's pilgrims are fine and in good health, indicating that they will return to the homeland safe and sound on Wednesday and Thursday after completing their Hajj.
He added that all cadres of the Medical Services Unit, including specialized doctors, accompanied Qatar's pilgrims during their performance of all rituals, starting on the day of al-Tarwiyah in Mina, then in Arafa, as well as during the journey to Muzdalifah.
He indicated that the Medical Services Unit continued to provide healthcare to the state's pilgrims during the days of Tashreeq, through the presence of all members of the unit with the pilgrims in the Mina camps since their return from Muzdalifah, during the first and second days of the days of Tashreeq, until all the pilgrims left to stone the Jamarat, where medical clinics for men and women operate around the clock.
Regarding diseases during the Hajj season, the Deputy Head of the Medical Services Unit at the Qatari Hajj Mission said that most of the diseases during the Hajj season centered around respiratory diseases and infections, noting that the medical staff at the Hajj Mission followed up on all the cases that visited the unit, and most of them were mild or moderate cases due to the common cold and coughs, some of which are due to the heat stress to which pilgrims are exposed due to the high temperatures.
Regarding emergency or critical medical cases, Dr. Al Musaifri said that they were examined and provided with urgent and necessary healthcare, and then transferred to Mina Hospital, which is close to the headquarters of the pilgrims of the State of Qatar. He noted that the Hajj Mission contracted with a number of private hospitals in Makkah Al Mukaramah and near Qatar pilgrims' residences to treat cases that require hospitalisation.
Meanwhile, a number of pilgrims of Qatar praised the great attention paid by the wise leadership of Qatar, led by
H H the Amir, and harnessing all means to provide the best services to the country's pilgrims.
They noted that the Qatari Hajj Mision, led by the Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, was a strong impetus for moving forward in developing the performance and services provided to operators and the country's pilgrims in all the holy sites, in a way that contributes to meeting the requirements of pilgrims and facilitating the performance of the religious obligation, leading to excellence and sophistication.
Hamad Muhammad Al Nuaimi, one of the pilgrims of the Taibah tour operator, explained that the campaign management followed up on all pilgrims from the beginning of registration and continued communication through WhatsApp groups to arrange all matters and inform pilgrims of the instructions and guidelines for Hajj.
