Abeer Medical lauded for Hajj healthcare services
Abeer Medical Group has concluded its 2025 Hajj pilgrimage medical services with resounding success, providing vital healthcare to thousands of pilgrims in both Mina and Arafah. Their dedicated efforts, which ensured a healthier and more fulfilling Hajj experience for many, have been lauded by pilgrims and health officials alike. In Mina, Abeer's Urgent Medical Care Center, situated at Tent 5505 on Street 520, served more than 2,000 pilgrims this year. Operating with full approval from the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah and the Ministry of Health, the center became operational a day before pilgrims' arrival on June 4. A volunteer team of doctors, nurses, and paramedics worked tirelessly, attending to pilgrims from over 12 countries, with a significant number from Bangladesh, Indonesia, India, and Pakistan. The clinic remained open until all pilgrims had departed Mina. Saudi Health Minister Fahad AlJalajel, who led a high-level delegation from the Ministry of Health to inspect the Abeer clinic's preparations, expressed his satisfaction with the arrangements. Abdurahman Al-Bedani, operation manager at Abeer Medical Group, received the delegation. Pilgrims who utilized the clinic's services expressed profound appreciation for Abeer's dedicated care. Dr. Ahmed Alungal, executive vice president, and Dr. Jamsheed Ahmed, vice president of Abeer Medical Group, directly supervised the Mina clinic's operations. Alungal Mohammed, president of Abeer Medical Group, extended his gratitude to all participants, expressing pride in providing healthcare facilities to pilgrims for the second consecutive year. Beyond Mina, Abeer Medical Group's commitment extended to the critical rituals at Arafah. Recognizing the profound emotional impact of missing the Arafah stand for pilgrims admitted to hospitals due to health conditions, Abeer's dedicated healthcare team ensured that even these patients could fulfill this essential rite. A fleet of ambulances, accompanied by doctors and paramedics, safely transported patients to Arafah within the designated time, turning hope into reality for many. This comprehensive and compassionate approach to pilgrim healthcare by Abeer Medical Group, strongly supported by the Saudi Ministry of Health, has significantly contributed to the well-being and spiritual fulfillment of Hajj pilgrims this year.

Swift medical response saves pilgrim in Madinah
MADINAH: A swift response from Saudi Arabia's urgent care system enabled medical teams at King Salman bin Abdulaziz Medical City in Madinah to save the life of an Iraqi female pilgrim suffering from a brain hemorrhage. According to the Madinah Health Cluster, clinical assessment and interventional radiology revealed a ruptured artery that required immediate intervention, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Saturday. Once the patient was stabilized, a targeted procedure using coiling technology was performed. The interventional neuroradiology team sealed the rupture, preventing further complications, the SPA added. The Madinah Health Cluster said the pilgrim regained full consciousness with 'no neurological deficits' and has begun rehabilitation before returning home. The case 'highlights King Salman Medical City's capabilities as part of the Madinah Health Cluster and its readiness to provide specialized care for pilgrims,' the SPA wrote.
