What happens if I have a medical emergency during Hajj?

Call 997 or 911 for emergencies. Both are free with multilingual operators. Emergency care is provided free to all pilgrims regardless of insurance or nationality. The Saudi Ministry of Health deploys over 25,000 healthcare workers during Hajj.

Major hospitals near the Haram include Al Noor Specialist, King Abdullah Medical City, and Ajyad Hospital. During Hajj days, field hospitals, clinics, and first aid stations operate throughout Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah with ambulances on all routes.

For non-emergencies, most Hajj camps have resident doctors. Keep all receipts for insurance claims. Bring sufficient medication for your entire trip plus extra, a doctor's letter, and medical records in English or Arabic.
