Saudi Minister of Health Fahd bin Abdurrahman Al-Jalajel carried out on Tuesday several comprehensive inspection tours to review health system services at the holy sites in Makkah ahead of the Hajj.

He visited the Makkah Health Cluster, healthcare facilities in Arafat and Mina in Makkah, and the headquarters of the Saudi Red Crescent Authority.

The tours were made to make sure that the pilgrims will receive the best services during their holy journey.

The minister inaugurated the National Center for Health Crisis and Disaster Management in the holy sites and inspected health facilities at the Mina Al-Wadi Hospital, Mina Emergency Hospital and several private sector facilities.

The minister's visit reflects the great attention given by the government of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to serving pilgrims to the fullest extent.

It also aligns with the objectives of the Health Sector Transformation Program and Saudi Vision 2030.
