Five Hajj Pilgrims Treated for Heat Exhaustion: Health Min.
Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Health has reported five cases of heat exhaustion among Hajj pilgrims due to rising temperatures. The affected individuals received immediate medical attention and are currently in stable condition, according to the ministry's statement.
Health teams remain on high alert to respond swiftly to similar cases. This proactive approach reflects the Kingdom's commitment to safeguarding the health and safety of all pilgrims. The ministry urges pilgrims to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Important Health Guidelines for Pilgrims
Pilgrims should follow official health guidelines, including using shaded walkways and wearing appropriate protective gear. Additionally, they must seek help at the first signs of fatigue to prevent serious health issues.
To support these efforts, the ministry has launched multilingual awareness campaigns. Field preparedness has also been reinforced, particularly in response to seasonal heat risks. These measures are part of Saudi Arabia's comprehensive health strategy to ensure a safe pilgrimage experience for millions of worshippers worldwide.
Earlier this week, Saudi Minister of Health Fahad al-Jalajel confirmed that no epidemic cases or outbreak risks have been reported. As pilgrims begin arriving in the Kingdom for the Hajj season, the health and safety of all remain the highest priority.
'We are pleased to announce that no epidemic cases have been detected so far. There is no risk of disease outbreaks,' said al-Jalajel in an official statement.
