Mecca, May 20 (Petra) – The Jordanian medical mission accompanying
Jordanian pilgrims treated around 250 cases over the past 16 hours,
averaging about 125 cases per eight-hour shift, according to mission
officials.

Dr Abdul Rahman Ajaj, director of the branch clinic in the Al Hafayer
area of Mecca, said on Wednesday that most cases were mild
respiratory infections, colds and fatigue linked to high temperatures
and weather conditions.

He confirmed that the overall health of Jordanian pilgrims remains
stable, with no serious cases reported.

Ajaj noted that the mission operates three clinics across Mecca,
strategically located near the accommodation sites of around 8,000
Jordanian pilgrims to ensure easy access to medical care.

He stressed that the medical teams, in coordination with the Ministry
of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, are committed to providing continuous
healthcare and field monitoring to help pilgrims perform their
rituals safely and comfortably.

He added that field visits and awareness campaigns are ongoing,
particularly on preventing heat stress and respiratory illnesses,
urging pilgrims to follow health guidelines and maintain adequate
hydration during Hajj rituals.
