The 937 Service Center aims to give medical advice and guidance to them through the program. The same service is also available on @saudimoh, the Ministry of Health's Twitter account.

The Ministry of Health is launching its yearly program, "Hajj Health Adviser," to ensure the safety and health of pilgrims, residents, and citizens.

The 937 Service Center and @saudimoh will provide medical advice and guidance.

A weekly program will be held to answer all queries and communications from those interested in performing Hajj rituals this year, with a group of consultants and specialists in various medical specialties available daily.

The Ministry of Health guidelines are being followed by medical missions accompanying Hajj pilgrims from overseas countries.

The ministry has released guidelines requiring accompanying teams for pilgrims to adhere to technical specifications, such as having at least one physician per 1,000 pilgrims and 20% of the medical mission's physicians having public health qualifications.

The ministry stated that no epidemic or quarantinable diseases have been reported among pilgrims, and the health situation is reassuring.
