NAHCON ANNOUNCEMENT: For the Attention of Pilgrims in Makkah
The Medical Committee under the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) wishes to advise pilgrims who have arrived in Makkah to seek medical assistance from any of Saudi Arabian General or Specialist Hospitals nearest to them. This advice has become necessary because the Saudi Arabian Health Ministry is yet to grant any Hajj participating country the permission to start running clinics in Makkah. Any pilgrim having difficulty in locating such hospitals is advised to contact any of our National Medical Team members (NMT) as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, All NAHCON clinics in Makkah are fully staffed and equipped awaiting approval
from Saudi Government – Makkah MoH. Hence as soon as the host country grants authorization, the clinics will start running 24/7 in its normal tradition. In the meantime, ALL pilgrims are advised to shun self-medication, please.
Signed,
NAHCON Medical Committee
