Qatari Pilgrims Continue Haj Rituals Under Extensive Govt Support

(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Qatari pilgrims continued performing Haj rituals in Mina and the stoning of the Jamarat amid extensive medical and logistical support provided by the Qatari Haj Mission.

Dr Khalid Abdulhadi, head of the mission's medical unit, said clinics in Mina were operating around the clock with specialist teams of doctors, nurses and paramedics working in shifts to provide immediate care.

He said that around 600 medical cases had been treated since the start of the Haj rituals, with most involving minor to moderate conditions such as respiratory infections, exhaustion and muscle pain.

The clinics, with separate facilities for men and women, are equipped with pharmacies, emergency medical equipment and isolation rooms for suspected infectious cases.

Medical teams are also using rapid-response scooters and mobile emergency kits to reach pilgrims in crowded areas between Mina camps and the Jamarat site.

The medical unit urged pilgrims to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and follow preventive health measures during the pilgrimage.

Qatar's Haj Mission said medical services would remain fully operational until the end of the season as part of efforts to ensure the safety and wellbeing of pilgrims.
