Health Ministry urges pilgrims not to expose to heat stress
Saudi Gazette report MINA — As pilgrims are preparing to move to Mina, to mark the beginning of the annual pilgrimage of Hajj, the Ministry of Health has intensified its comprehensive field and awareness initiatives to safeguard pilgrims' health and prevent heat stress. This effort aligns with Vision 2030's Health Sector Transformation Program and the Pilgrim Experience Program that aimed for a safe and healthy Hajj. Preventing heat-related illnesses is a top priority of the ministry. It urged pilgrims to use umbrellas, drink water regularly, even if they are not thirsty, and wear light-colored, lightweight clothing. Symptoms of heat stress include headache, dizziness, excessive sweating, thirst, and nausea. Upon noticing these, pilgrims should immediately move to a shaded area, cool down with water, and drink plenty of fluids. Pilgrims are advised to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 am and 4 pm, refrain from walking on hot surfaces, and exercise caution when engaging in strenuous activities, such as climbing mountains, on the Day of Arafat, which can increase the risk of heat stress. The ministry affirmed that the health sector is highly prepared, with over 34 equipped field health units strategically distributed across the holy sites. These units provide urgent medical care and rapid response for heat stress cases, enhancing pilgrim safety. The ministry has also launched a health awareness kit, available in eight languages, offering comprehensive health guidelines. Through its advanced field system and qualified medical personnel, the Ministry of Health continues its extensive efforts to provide comprehensive health and preventive services, promoting safety and ensuring pilgrims can perform their rituals with ease and tranquility in a healthy environment.

Saudi Gazette report MADINAH — In a scene that highlights the developmental transformation taking place in the Kingdom under Vision 2030, Saudi women play a key role in the Hajj season's organization, with their roles distributed across security, healthcare, guidance, and volunteering in the service of pilgrims. In and around the Prophet's Mosque, female security personnel play vital roles in organizing the movement of pilgrims, supervising checkpoints, and ensuring smooth entry to designated sites of worship. This demonstrates their professional competence in handling crowds and effectively organizing them. In the healthcare sector, Saudi women participate in providing comprehensive medical services to pilgrims through teams of female doctors, nurses, and healthcare assistants working around the clock to provide primary care, handle emergencies, and implement health awareness campaigns. In the field of religious and tourist guidance, specialists in Sharia and languages play an important role in guiding pilgrims, contributing to enhancing the pilgrim experience and facilitating their performance of the rituals. The female volunteer presence is no less important. Female volunteers contribute to a variety of humanitarian and service efforts, including distributing meals and water and providing logistical support, in a bright light that reflects the spirit of initiative and social responsibility. This diversity of roles played by Saudi women during the Hajj season represents a practical embodiment of women's empowerment and underscores their active role in various sectors. This reinforces their position as a key partner in development and serving pilgrims, and serves as a model to be emulated.
