Qatari Hajj Mission serves pilgrims throughout their faith journey
This reflects the mission's commitment to providing continuous support to pilgrims throughout all stages of the rituals, including their safe return home.
For his part, Dr Khaled Abdel Hadi, head of the Medical Unit of the Qatari Hajj Mission, said that this year the Unit established a mobile medical ambulance unit (rotating ambulance).
This is a unique initiative consisting of mobile ambulance teams that accompany pilgrims as they leave the camps in Mina for the Jamarat.
These teams continue to accompany them during the stoning of the small, medium, and large Jamarat and until their return to the camp.
This is to ensure the safety of all pilgrims, especially women and the elderly.
He added that the medical unit established two fixed ambulance units on the Jamarat Road, equipped with all the necessary medical equipment to handle emergency cases.
He noted that the Unit also provided three paramedics equipped with the innovative HT Rescue Jacket, a miniature model of a mobile ambulance.
The mobile ambulance contains all the necessary equipment for rapid intervention in emergency situations, with direct communication and connectivity with the two fixed ambulance units, he added.
The three paramedics use electric scooters bearing the mission logo while accompanying the campaigns.
The Coordination and Follow-up Unit and the Airport monitored the pilgrims' departure from Makkah Al Mukkaramah after completing the Farewell Tawaf, assisting them in facilitating their procedures at King Abdulaziz Airport and the Hajj Airport in Jeddah, in coordination with airlines to ensure smooth and seamless departure procedures.
These integrated efforts by the Qatari Hajj Mission and its supporting units convey an implicit message from the Qatari Hajj Mission that the Mission is with the pilgrims throughout their faith journey, wherever they might be, from the time they leave their homeland for the Holy Land, through the performance of their rituals, and until their safe return home after performing the fifth pillar of Hajj.
