WHO praised in a report released on October 16 Wednesday the health services provided as a "comprehensive and integrated health system," stating that the Kingdom faced a major challenge concerning the health care of about 2 million pilgrims in a short period, and it fully succeeded in overcoming this great challenge.
The Emergency Hospital of Mina is built exclusively to serve pilgrims, as it is located between the holy sites of Makkah and Arafat, where every pilgrim is supposed to begin the pilgrimage," the WHO report said, adding: "Closed the rest of the year, the Mina hospital has 190 beds and sees between 10,000 and 12,000 patients daily during Haj." |
