He highlighted that medical clinics for men and women have been established in Mecca according to the highest
standards, including rooms for isolation, hospitalization, and observation. The mission has also set up fully equipped
clinics in Mina and Arafat, in addition to pharmacies, examination rooms, and emergency departments. An ambulance

movement, including the journey from Arafat to Muzdalifah and during the stoning of the Jamarat.
Regarding the new partnership with the Saudi German Hospital in Mecca, Dr. Abdul Hadi explained that this step aims
to strengthen the medical support system for Qatari pilgrims. He noted that the hospital is one of the most prominent
healthcare institutions in the Kingdom, known for its reputable treatment services. It will prioritize emergency cases
involving Qatari pilgrims and its specialized medical staff will support the mission's medical teams at the designated
sites this year.
He explained that this cooperation is intended to ensure 24/7 reception of emergency cases and to provide the highest
levels of healthcare, wishing safety and wellness for all pilgrims from the State of Qatar.
