The annual Hajj pilgrimage, a global gathering attracting over 1.8 million participants last
year1, is expected to take place in Saudi Arabia from 14 to 19 June 2024. Due to the large
scale of the event, ensuring the health and safety of all pilgrims requires a focus on

preventive measures. Meningococcal disease has been reported in travellers returning from
Saudi Arabia, highlighting the importance of adhering to the requirements.2 International
SOS, the world’s leading health and security services company, encourages organisations

with employees participating in the Hajj pilgrimage to ensure their workforce is aware of
essential precautions for a safe and healthy spiritual journey.
